Ann Down, Philanthropist

If you ask Ann Down what she enjoys about her day, she will tell you everything -
“I can’t wait to get up in the morning!”

Founder of The Good Works Institute (helping our children and the environment) Ann’s single mission in life is to affect change on humanity.

This could mean actively supporting the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds center in Madison, WI under the direction of Dr. Richard Davidson or the lending support to the Friends of Tibetan Delek Hospital in India along with countless other projects.

Ann, a full-time resident of Sun Valley will tell you it’s all about having a purpose in life, being active in what you support and keeping your world as large as possible.

Ann’s thoughts on philanthropy, from the women’s perspective, will be very helpful as we explore this section in our film about women on having a purpose.
