Celebrating a legacy that turned dressing into donations

On the 100th year of Paul Newman’s birth, we’re honoring his generous 
legacy with a movement to increase kindness.

Since 1982, Paul Newman and Newman’s Own Foundation have donated more than $600 million to good causes—all funded by the millions of consumers who purchase Newman’s Own products every day.
