A Delicious Way to Give: Newman’s Own Foundation Donates $100,000

The Newman’s Own Foundation is donating $100,000 to New Zealand charities from the profits of Paul Newman’s Own products sold here, making charitable grants of up to $20,000 each.

Last year nine New Zealand charities received donations of up to $20,000 for nominated special projects.

The Newman’s Own Foundation has now given away more than $NZ850,000 to community-based charities in this country since the Paul Newman’s Own products were introduced in 1991.

Internationally the Newman’s Own Foundation has donated a staggering $NZ475 million to charity.

Newman’s Own Foundation spokesperson Sue Home said any charity, big or small, with a specific individual project can apply to the foundation.

“We are inviting applications from any charity that needs funding for a specific project to apply” said Home.  “Each charitable project will be considered entirely on merit and not on the size or reputation of the organisation making the request – the focus is all about making a difference.”

Last year grants were used on a range of projects from providing victims of family violence with the latest security technology for their homes; giving gifted young musicians mentoring, and providing scholarships, encouragement and new horses for the highly successful Riding for the Disabled organisation.

Expressions of interest welcome until 22nd May, 2009.
