Making a Difference, One Gift at a Time

In a country filled with opportunity, we’re also reminded every day that many people are still in need. My wife Kim and I have always believed that giving back isn’t just important — it’s part of what makes everything else meaningful.

​

Over the years, we’ve seen something powerful: the more we’ve given, the more we’ve been able to grow — not just in business, but in purpose. Giving has been a cornerstone of our journey.

One day, we’ll leave behind a legacy. While we’re proud of the businesses we’ve built on trust and integrity, what matters most to us is being remembered as good parents, grandparents, and people who made a positive difference in the lives of others.

Through the Bass Foundation, we’ve created a way for our friends, customers, and community to be part of that impact. Every dollar given goes directly to those in need — with no administrative costs or salaries taking away from the mission. Even the smallest contributions can come together to create something meaningful.

Our journey started with a deep commitment to supporting Shriners Hospitals for Children through the Al Menah paper sale — a cause we’ve proudly supported every year since 1987. Since then, we’ve expanded our efforts to support more than 30 charities.
