Ken Griffin is making his first donation in Miami since moving the global headquarters of his Citadel and Citadel Securities to the city from Chicago earlier this year.
Griffin, Florida’s richest man, donated $250,000 to the Venture Miami Scholarship Program, a new fund to provide tuition support for city residents who were accepted into science, technology, engineering and math programs at a handful of local colleges, according to a statement. He pledged to match another $1 million through a “challenge grant.”
