T. BOONE PICKENS FOUNDATION

The T. Boone Pickens Foundation pursues a philanthropic mission established by Pickens, who started the foundation in 2006. The billionaire oilman gave $100 million to his alma mater, Oklahoma State University, in 2008, complementing his 2005 gift of $165 million to OSU’s sports programs, marking the single largest gift for athletics in NCAA history. Pickens was named to BusinessWeek's 2008 list of the 50 Top American Givers, which recognizes the most generous U.S. philanthropists.
