The Gondas – Profile of Generous Philanthropic Family
Sunday’s Los Angeles Times profiles Leslie and Louis Gonda, who have donated very generously to many causes.
“It’s a wonderful feeling when you can actually help people in need,” Leslie Gonda is quoted as saying. “I feel a moral obligation to do it.”
The story notes that the financial crisis has undermined their ability to continue to give at the same level as before.
