Biography

Doris Buffet is the founder of The Sunshine Lady Foundation which is a private family foundation funded through her generosity. The mission of the foundation reflects the midwestern values and no-nonsense approach to decision-making that Doris grew up with in Omaha, Nebraska. Each Sunshine Lady Foundation grant is considered an investment, and the decision to grant funds is always based on an expected successful return. Doris Buffett is grateful to her father and brother (Warren Buffet) not only for providing her with the wealth to fund the foundation but also for their inspirational examples of integrity and generosity.

Buffett is passionate about her responsibilities as a philanthropist and a good citizen and her energy and enthusiasm are boundless. Among her many other roles, she has been a first grade teacher, domestic violence crusader, political activist, mother and grandmother. She is the self appointed Buffett family genealogist and her avocation is historic preservation.

Since its inception in 1996 the Sunshine Lady Foundation has awarded more than $30 million in grants.
