Jerry Bisgrove isn’t a guy who likes to make a big splash. Although the chairman and founder of the Stardust Cos. is well known in business and philanthropic circles, he has kept a relatively low public profile.
That’s likely to change now that he has agreed to commit a hefty $100 million though his Stardust Charities Group to the biosciences in Arizona.
The $100 million pledge to the Science Foundation Arizona is the largest private donation to the biotech sector in Arizona’s history, and it’s also the biggest single commitment ever made by Stardust. Since it’s founding in 1992, the group has contributed about $60 million to charitable causes including affordable housing, health care and education.
