Item 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER
   
  This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on 3/16/23, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed 3/24/23; with respect to the common shares of BlackRock Innovation & Growth Trust. This Amendment No. 2 amends Item 3, and 5 as set forth below.
   
Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
   
  Funds for the purchase of the Common Shares were derived from the subscription proceeds from investors and the capital appreciation thereon and margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business.  In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account, which may exist from time to time.  Since other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Common Shares reported herein. A total of approximately $107,260,742 was paid to acquire the Common Shares reported herein.
   
Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
   
(a) See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D/A for the aggregate number of Common Shares and percentages of the Common Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons.  The percentages used herein are calculated based upon 229,666,091 shares of common stock outstanding as of 12/31/22, as disclosed in the company's N-CSR filed 3/6/23
