The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
"Never stifle a generous impulse," was a favorite saying of entrepreneur William R. Hewlett, who established the Hewlett Foundation in 1966 with his wife, Flora Lamson Hewlett, and their eldest son, Walter B. Hewlett. Indeed, Bill and Flora believed in charitable giving all their lives. In addition to a lifetime of personal philanthropy, in 1966, the Hewletts committed the vast amount of their wealth to their newly-created foundation. The founding board members were William, Flora, and son Walter, who was twenty one at the time.
