4194.0. "Information re: Foundation " by COOKIE::SIMON () Wed Nov 21 1990 12:36

    A couple of weeks ago I was reading in the paper about a foundation
    started by the estate of the missing heiress to the Brach Candy
    fortune (she disappeared without a trace in 1978 or so).  Supposedly,
    the foundation has about $50 million in it and gives about $2 million a
    year to shelters and other organizations to care for homeless, stray,
    and abandoned animals.
    
    I would like to contact this foundation (I think it is in Chicago) to
    see if they could make a donation to a cat shelter in Pueblo, CO from
    which I adopted a cat;  the shelter is expanding to take in more cats
    and has substantial expenses, etc.
    
    Does anyone know anything specifically about this Brach Foundation (if
    that is the exact name), before I start trying the hard way to track
    down a locator reference?
    
    Thanks for any info.

    re: base note
    
    I found out the info about the Brach Foundation back in December; if
    anyone ever needs it, let me know.
    
    Also...is anyone aware of other foundations that give donations to
    animal shelters, as I am trying big-time to line up additional funding
    for the shelter in Pueblo.  Any information would be very appreciated.
