The Perot Foundation of Dallas, founded by billionaire and former presidential candidate Ross Perot, announced Thursday that it is donating $1 million to Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas to help provide health care and education services.
"For nearly 100 years Planned Parenthood has helped to educate men and women regarding family planning and general family health," said Margot Perot in a written statement. "Our family has supported this nonprofit for many years because we are impressed with the work they do -- providing birth control; scientifically based education; breast health exams; and basic, life-saving healthcare for women who cannot afford services otherwise."
The $1 million is undesignated, according to a Planned Parenthood spokeswoman, so the money can be used for the general mission of the organization.
