hindesky Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Nancy and Rich Kinder ranked in at No. 315 on Forbes' 38th annual World Billionaires List. With an estimated wealth of $8.1 billion, the couple have become synonymous with transformational arts, education, green space and quality-of-life initiatives in Houston. Over the past two decades, the Kinder Foundation has donated more than $20.2 million to downtown urban park non-profit. The Kinder Foundation pledged $50 million in 2013 toward the Houston Parks Board's Bayou Greenways Project. Additional lead gifts include $100 million donation to Buffalo Bayou Partnership, $50 million to the Kinder Institute for Urban Research at Rice University, $70 million to Memorial Park, $30 million to Buffalo Bayou Park, $5 million to 50 SPARK Parks, $4.7 million to Emancipation Park, $4 million to Willow Waterhole, $3 million to Trees for Houston and $2 million to Hermann Park. The Kinders gave nearly $75 million to Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, where Rich Kinder serves as a chairman on the board of trustees. Their gift led to the naming of what is now the Kinder Building, a permanent home for the museum's international collection of modern and contemporary art. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/lifestyle/article/who-are-nancy-and-rich-kinder-19404941.php 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
