History
M.R. Greenberg and C.V. Starr celebrate Mr. Starr’s 75th birthday, October 1967.
The Starr Foundation was established in 1955 by C.V. Starr, a global entrepreneur driven by a deep sense of purpose, compassion, and a commitment to action. His vision set the stage for transformative philanthropy, which, under longtime board Chair Maurice R. Greenberg’s leadership, has spanned generations. Today, their legacies endure as The Starr Foundation continues to foster positive change in communities around the world.
