Sharing is always an evolving feature of a healthy society, both with maturing children and aging adults."

Pledge letter

1/26/2020

 

Sharing is always an evolving feature of a healthy society, both with maturing children and aging adults. While initially resisting requests to join the Giving Pledge Community, I have evolved/aged to now join a magnificent group of fellow pledgees! While I have over several decades established a $400 million foundation and funded nearly $300 million of additional philanthropic pledges I have recently changed my will to provide for over 50% of my assets to philanthropic foundations of my two children Jeff and Jennifer Stengaard Gross.

Thank you for the opportunity to share even more by joining the Giving Pledge Community!
