Arthur Blank gives $5
million to Emory’s Institute for Jewish
Studies

THE Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation has donated
million to Emory University’s Institute for Jewish
Studies, giving the fast-growing center the springboard it needs to leap to the forefront of Jewish scholarship in the United States.

The institute hopes to establish a $10 million endowment, and the Blank gift was made with the understanding that Emory would raise an additional $5
million.

The gift also gives naming rights for the institute to Arthur Blank, co-founder and retired co-chairman of The Home Depot Inc. (NYSE: HD). Blank is an Emory trustee and distinguished executive in residence at Goizueta Business School.
