To mark its $300 million milestone in worldwide charitable giving, Newman’s Own Foundation is donating a record $2 million to Australian charities this year.
The 2011 campaign embraces Paul’s passion for food and philanthropy and is highlighted by the 10 Chefs $1 Million Charity program. Ten of Australia’s favourite chefs have joined forces with Newman’s Own Foundation to help select 10 charities to receive $100,000 each. For more information click here.
A further $600,000 has been donated to the food-rescue charities OzHarvest, and Fare Share, which have each received $300,000. The Foundation is also donating $250,000 to community groups affected by recent natural disasters and $150,000 towards community partnership programs.
“This year’s campaign theme is a fitting tribute to Paul Newman and his legacy of giving. It is thanks to his passion for food and philanthropy that the Foundation continues to help those in need here and around the globe.” said Robert Forrester, CEO Newman’s Own Foundation
