Joan Kroc Biography
Joan Kroc (born on August 27, 1928, and died on October 12, 2003), also known as Joni, was an American philanthropist as well as the third wife of McDonald’s CEO Ray Kroc. She was born on August 27, 1928, in West St. Paul, Minnesota as Joan Beverly Mansfield. Joan’s father Charles Smart Mansfield was a storekeeper as well as later a railroad telegraph operator and salesman.
In the year 2002, Kroc Center, a large Salvation Army community center that Joan helped fund to the tune of $87 million dollars opened to the public. Joan later bequeathed an additional $1.6 B to open Salvation Army Kroc Centers across the nation, the largest one-time gift ever recorded.
Several institutions in the San Diego area are named after Joan, including the think tank Joan B Kroc Institute for Peace as well as Justice and the Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies the world’s top peace institution- at the University of San Diego, the St Vincent de Paul Joan Kroc Center for the Homeless “Part of Father Joe’s Villages San Diego’s largest organization helping the homeless” in downtown as well as the Kroc–Copley Animal Shelter in the Morena District.
Additionally, she established as well as endowed the University of Notre Dame’s Joan B Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies. Joan preferred to give donations anonymously, but recipient organizations often insisted on publicizing her gifts, hoping to attract new donors.
As the Padres owner, Joan began Major League Baseball’s first employee-assistance program for players as well as staff with drug problems. Joan was also politically active and in 1985, Joan spent millions of dollars in support of nuclear disarmament, which included reprinting the book Missile Envy by Helen Caldicott, and publishing ads in major newspapers calling for disarmament.
Joan anonymously gifted a Paul Conrad sculpture depicting a nuclear mushroom cloud, Chain Reaction, to the city of Santa Monica, where it still sits today. Because of Joan’s public no-nukes work, Cal Thomas, a conservative syndicated columnist, called her a “McNut.”
Joan is affectionately known by the citizens of Grand Forks, North Dakota, as well as East Grand Forks, Minnesota, as the Angel because of her anonymous $15 million donation to assist the cities after a devastating flood occurred there in the year 1997. Joan was revealed as the source of the funds after reporters tracked down ownership of the jet that she used to fly into the area to survey the damage.
