Mr. Daniels, a pioneer in cable television and noted philanthropist, was known for his honesty and integrity in business. He founded the Young Americans Bank in 1987 to help teach youth financial responsibility, and collaborated with the University of Denver to incorporate ethics, values, and social responsibility into the curriculum of the Daniels College of Business. He established the Daniels Fund to provide grants and scholarships in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. His estate transferred to the Daniels Fund when he died in the year 2000, making it one of the largest foundations in the Rocky Mountain region.

The Daniels Fund is dedicated to honoring his mission of "making life better...one individual at a time."

The free enterprise system is the eighth wonder of the world.  Teaching young people to be active participants is our responsibility for its preservation.
