FOUNDER
Bernard L. Schwartz
“I have been lucky to be engaged in life, to have prospered, and to have obtained the economic security that allows me to pay back the society that has given me so much. Through my political activism and philanthropy I think I can, in a modest way, influence public debate and help America and the world become a better place.”
