He wanted organizations benefitting from Foundation grants to succeed and to use their success not solely for personal benefit but also to improve the world around them. He felt that when candidates shared their achievements a “multiplier” effect would result which would benefit families, mankind, society and the world at large. As Mr. Benedum continued to formulate his thoughts he came to believe that by giving to charitable organizations that shared his vision success would come.

It is now decades since the Paul G. Benedum, Jr. Foundation made its first grant. Since that day many lives have been touched, opportunities given and success achieved. Mr. Benedum strongly believed that his Foundation supported charities exemplify quality education thereby creating a better world for all.
