Dorothy Cullman, a leading donor to New York City arts, science, and educational institutions, died Monday at her Manhattan home, reports The New York Times.
In more than four decades of philanthropy, Ms. Cullman and her husband, investor Lewis B. Cullman, gave more than $250-million to beneficiaries ranging from the New York Public Library and the Museum of Modern Art to major medical schools and Human Rights Watch. The couple met in the early 1960s raising funds for an international mental-health charity.
