BACKGROUND: David Sachs graduated from Babson College in 1988. He was assistant to the chairman of Furman, Selz, Mager, Dietz and Birney. He launched Hocky Capital with his wife Allison and is currently general partner of the firm.
Allison Sachs is a partner of Hocky Capital, which she runs with her husband David Sachs.
ISSUES:
EDUCATION & YOUTH: The couple support Sachs’ school Babson College, including a program called Management Consulting Field Experience (MCFE), which puts together teams of student consultants who work with an organization to address a business challenge. They’ve also supported places like Harlem Village Academies, Street Squash, City Squash, Tulane University, Columbia University, and Boys and Girls Club of Northern Westchester.
HEALTH: The couple also appears to have an interest in healthcare and medical research. They’ve supported institutions like Blythedale Children’s Hospital, American Red Cross, Memorial Sloan Kettering, and New York Presbyterian Fund.
COMMUNITY: The Sachses are based in Westchester County and they support their local community. Grantees have included Bedford Fire Department. They’ve also supported Jewish outfits like UJA Federation and University of Michigan Hillel.
LOOKING FORWARD: The couple’s philanthropy has been fairly modest but steady of late. Expect them to stick with their established interest areas for now.
