Organization:

Name:CECP

Description:
In 1998, Paul Newman approached Peter L. Malkin about creating an organization that would encourage companies to commit greater resources to charitable investments. CECP, formerly known as the Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy, was officially launched on November 18, 1999 when Paul Newman, John C. Whitehead, Peter L. Malkin, Walter Shipley, and other business leaders called upon companies to respond to the needs in their communities. To this day, Paul Newman's sentiment that corporate America can be a force for good in society is still a core belief of CECP.
