The Pfaffinger Foundation, based in Los Angeles, CA, is a philanthropic organization established by Frank Pfaffinger, a Bavarian immigrant who dedicated 53 years of his life working for the Los Angeles Times. In 1936, Mr. Pfaffinger generously contributed the majority of his estate to create the foundation, with the aim of providing assistance to employees and former employees of Times Mirror who are in need. The foundation offers individual grants to eligible individuals and retirees, as well as community grants to support nonprofit organizations.
With a total giving of $140 million and 87 years of service, the Pfaffinger Foundation has made a significant impact by supporting 29,230 individuals through $108 million in individual grants and 1,558 community nonprofits through $32 million in community grants. The foundation's mission is to continue Mr. Pfaffinger's legacy of helping those in need, and it remains committed to providing support and resources to employees and retirees of the former Times Mirror companies.
