Zafirovski Family Foundation
Founded in 2004, The Zafirovski Family Foundation focuses on education, mentoring, healthcare, and economic development.
Zafirovski Family Foundation
What We Do
The Zaf Group’s principal focus for the last 6 years has been to acquire and oversee well-run family businesses with the intention of owning them forever.
Тhe businesses we currently own and operate generate approximately $400 million in annual revenue and are growing rapidly. We are open to any industry but priority sectors in which we have particular interest include light industrial, consumer, and business-to-business products and services.
We are now expanding our scope to include significant involvement with several private companies (similar to our prior involvement with Blackstone and several of its portfolio companies), and alternative/venture capital investing.
The Zaf Group operating model and the portfolio operations team will continue to be the “secret sauce” in all these activities, whether we are investing to own the companies outright or supporting them as TZG clients/partners.
