As the daughter of Paul Newman, I was raised to be a philanthropist

Nell Newman sat down with us and discussed growing up with famous parents, how her father, Paul Newman, started the family business, the importance of eating organically grown foods, Genetically Modified Foods and the harm they cause, bird extinction due to toxic pesticides, giving back and so much more.

The Nell Newman Foundation seeks to follow the original mission of my father’s philanthropy. To support the small, visionary, and perhaps untested organizations. To fund the underdogs, and unpopular ideas my father and mother originally championed. To relieve human suffering and sustain a resilient economy that will benefit humanity and the ecosystem into the future. These goals necessitate the fostering of experiential learning for our youth, the protection of and restoration of our bioregions.
