Buchanan Street Partners produces results with our greatest asset – our human capital.

Whether it is finding the right investment, managing a current asset, or leading within our community, we seek to add value in all opportunities. We are dedicated and focused on our commitment to investors, our industry and the community at large.
In 2007, Buchanan Street Partners formed Buchanan Children’s Charities, a public non-profit organization, to measurably improve the quality of life and educational opportunities for children.
As of December 2020, Buchanan Children’s Charities has donated over $2 million to children’s charities and we’re proud of the thousands of lives we have enriched. Giving back is deeply embedded in the culture at Buchanan Street Partners and our employees have generously contributed both physically and financially.
In July 2020, Buchanan Children’s Charities provided a grant to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Huntington Valley in Orange County. This organization was selected as they were the only Boys & Girls Club in Orange County to keep their doors open during the COVID-19 pandemic with an emphasis on serving preschool and K-8 children of healthcare workers, first responders, and other essential service providers. Buchanan’s gift aided in helping to cover operational expenses during this time as the clubs continued to serve 300 children per day, providing 1,000 meals weekly, and teaching 35 extracurricular activities via Zoom per week.
The Orange County Community Foundation has been a significant partner. Through their efforts, we have been able to restart music programs within the local public schools in Orange County. The charity’s signature event is “Encore for Education”, a commercial real estate industry concert benefiting Music Matters. In October of 2018, at the sixth Encore for Education, the charity contributed $150,000 to benefit Music Matters and featured Fitz and the Tantrums. Since inception, Encore for Education has donated over $950,000 for the Music Matters initiative.
Due to our long-standing partnership, we have decided to have OCCF directly manage Buchanan Children’s Charities. This will enable our employees to continue to make contributions, as well as open the door for potential new initiatives with the guidance and support of OCCF.
