Ewing Kauffman’s benevolence was grounded in his belief in people. He wanted young people, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, to get a quality education and reach their full potential. He saw entrepreneurship as one of the most effective ways to realize individual promise and spur economic growth. In a series of interviews, Mr. Kauffman discussed his style of purposeful philanthropy that today serves as his legacy, guides the Kauffman Foundation and inspires others to build a legacy of their own.
