ON PHILANTHROPY
Our founder, Ike Leighty, said that starting a family foundation is like catching a porcupine. First you throw a wash tub over it, and that gives you something to sit on while you figure out what to do next!
And, indeed, my brother and father and I found ourselves sitting on that wash tub in 1985.
As we began our journey into the world of foundations, we were grateful for the encouragement, enlightenment and inspiration we received from those we met who were also learning about the art of giving.
