Stanford University Hospital
~ November 9, 2007
Marc Andreessen, co-founder of Netscape Communications Corporation, and his wife, Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen, have announced a $27.5-million gift to Stanford University Hospital & Clinics in Palo Alto, Calif., reports The Wall Street Journal. Part of the couple's motivation for giving is that Mr. Andreessen was pleased with the services he received as a patient of Stanford hospital in the late 1990s. The couple's connection to charitable activity at Stanford runs deeper than that, however. Ms. Arrillaga-Andreessen is a Stanford alumna who teaches philanthropy at the university, and her father, John Arrillaga, a real-estate developer, gave Stanford $100-million in 2006.
