When Arthur Blank signed his #GivingPledge just over seven years ago, he had already donated over $250 million to charitable causes since the inception of the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation. Since then, our chairman has joined some of the world’s wealthiest people in signing the Giving Pledge, a commitment to give more than half their wealth away to philanthropy and charitable causes in an effort to leave the world a better place than they found it. Today, the work of the Blank Foundation focuses on investing in the next generation, catalyzing social change, advancing the arts and giving back through the Blank Family of Businesses.
