The Bunbury Company, Inc. is a grant making
private foundation whose general purposes are to support charitable
organizations primarily within central New Jersey. Bunbury was created
in 1952 by Princeton resident and noted businessman Dean Mathey. Mr.
Mathey was a partner in the investment firm of Dillon, Read and Company,
Chairman of the Board of Empire Trust Company, Honorary Chairman of
the Board of the Bank of New York, and a long-standing trustee of
Princeton University. He was also the benefactor of many educational
and charitable institutions in New Jersey and Vermont. Mr. Mathey
died in 1972 and today the Foundation seeks to honor Mr. Mathey's
quiet, yet resolute, commitment to philanthropy, especially in the
areas of education and disadvantaged youth.
