Graham Today

Evolving from a modest start in a farmhouse basement in Central Pennsylvania, Graham today is comprised of eight independent investment firms, dozens of operating businesses, and four philanthropic entities. The investment firms manage private capital for institutions including public pension funds, leading university endowments, charitable foundations, other financial institutions, and for the Graham family – they each share in the common legacy of entrepreneur Don Graham, an engineer who built and ran several global advanced manufacturing businesses, launched from his farmhouse basement office in rural area of Pennsylvania’s York County. Today, the Graham investment businesses own controlling or substantial direct interests in roughly three dozen operating businesses, spanning industries that range from industrial technologies to advanced manufacturing to software development, health care, education, and sports.
