Conrad N. Hilton Foundation
The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation is an American non-profit charitable foundation, established in 1944 by hotel entrepreneur Conrad N. Hilton. It remained relatively small until his death on January 3, 1979 when it was named the principal beneficiary of his estate. In 2007, Conrad's son, Barron Hilton announced that he would leave about 97% of his fortune (estimated at $2.3 billion),〔 to a charitable remainder unitrust which will eventually be merged with the Foundation, of which he is currently a member of the Board of directors.

The Foundation's mission is derived from the last will and testament of Conrad N. Hilton that directs the organization to ''"relieve the suffering, the distressed, and the destitute."''〔(Excerpt from the Last Will and Testament of Conrad N. Hilton )〕 The Foundation now focuses on six strategic areas: ending chronic homelessness, preventing teen substance abuse, helping youth make the transition out of foster care, providing access to safe water, support for the work of Catholic Sisters, and working with children affected by HIV and AIDS. The Foundation also funds five smaller program areas: confronting sight loss; overcoming multiple sclerosis; responding to disasters; nurturing Catholic schools; and educating students for hospitality industry.〔(Conrad N. Hilton Foundation website )〕 Typically, the foundation awards large, long-term grants to nonprofit organizations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Steve Hilton Takes His Grandfather’s Philanthropy to a New Level )〕 “Increasingly, we are being more strategic in our areas of interest,” said Ed Cain, Vice President of Grant Programs. “We’re trying to make the biggest difference possible with the resources at our disposal, and making sure that these projects deliver tangible results.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Conrad N.
