Jeff Feingold

Jeff Feingold founded Hope & Comfort in 2011 to help teach his two young children the importance of giving back to the community and to ensure that all people have access to basic and essential personal hygiene products.

After receiving his B.A. from Brown University in 1992 and working at Morgan Stanley as a Financial Analyst after college, he received a MBA from Harvard Business School. He then worked full-time at Fidelity Investments from 1997 to 2019 as an Analyst, Co-Director of Research, and Portfolio Manager in the Equity Division including running the Fidelity Magellan Fund from 2011 to 2019. He has continued to work part-time at Fidelity since 2020 with their Early Career team mentoring and coaching recent college and business school graduates.

For over 35 years, philanthropy and community service have been integral parts of his life. Early on, he volunteered at a camp for children with cancer and taught classes to inner-city youth in Boston. He then led colleagues and friends in various volunteer initiatives, from renovating inner-city schools to serving holiday meals and organizing drives for basic necessities. Jeff is also the co-founder of The Massachusetts Nonprofit Collaboration Fund, a collaborative funding initiative to provide advice and grants to encourage sustained and strategic nonprofit collaborations. In 2021 Jeff was recognized as a “CNN Hero” for his work with Hope & Comfort.

Jeff and his wife, Loren, live in Weston, MA with their two children and Australian Labradoodle, Luna.
