Newman’s Own Foundation offers $250k to UK charities
Howard Lake | 23 May 2014 | News
Newman’s Own Foundation will this year make grants of $250,000 (about £150,000) in the UK, and is inviting applications from UK charities that support children with life-limiting conditions.
Founded by the late actor and philanthropist Paul Newman, the Foundation receives all net profits and royalties from the sale of Newman’s Own products. It does not fundraise, accept donations or maintain an endowment.
It has already donated over $400 million (approximately £236 million) around the world, including nearly $1.7 million (approximately £1 million) to various UK charities, including this year’s sum.
Robert Forrester, president of Newman’s Own Foundation, said:
“Supporting children with life-limiting conditions is a key focus area for Newman’s Own Foundation because it is one of the areas that Paul Newman cherished, and one with opportunities for the Foundation to make a significant impact. We encourage charities that support or execute these programs to submit a request for funding.”
How to apply
To be considered for grants, organisations must be registered UK charities providing support for children with life-limiting medical or developmental conditions.
Eligible charities can submit their contact information via the expression of interest form on or before the 16 June 2014 deadline.

Harry Hill promotes Newman’s Own Foundation
Comedian and TV presenter Harry Hill is supporting this year’s call for applications. He has spoken in the past about being inspired by Paul Newman and Newman’s Own Foundation. He said:
“When I heard about the great work the charity does in the UK I wanted to get involved and help spread the word about the grants that UK charities can apply for. Aside from Paul Newman personally being a huge inspiration to me, Newman’s Own Foundation has inspired many others and helped countless charities through their continued charitable work.”
