Investing in the Future

Paul Newman says "I'm in." Paul Newman's philanthropic organization, Newman's Own Foundation, has announced an award of $25,000 for the Hidaya Project.

Newman's Own Foundation is an independent private foundation which derives its grant making income from royalty payments received in conjunction with the sale of Newman's Own food products. Since the inception of Newman's Own in the early 1980's, over $230 million has been donated to thousands of charitable organizations worldwide.
