The University of Southern California is receiving a $50 million gift from the Price Family Charitable Fund to endow and name the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy, and to cement its standing as one of the most progressive and prestigious American schools of public affairs. The gift honors the life and legacy of the late Sol Price, USC alum, founder of Price Club, business entrepreneur and leader with a deep commitment to addressing social justice and poverty. In recognition of that commitment, the gift also will create the USC Sol Price Center for Social Innovation at the school.
