Hutton Companies

The Hutton Companies were founded by the late Mrs. Betty Hutton after the death of her husband, legendary entrepreneur and chemist, Harold Hutton in 1977. In 1939, the Huttons founded Refining Associates, a chemical engineering firm making special lubricants and fuels. Together, the Huttons developed oil fields throughout South East Asia after the Second World War and worked closely with Pertamina, the national oil company of Indonesia. After Harold's unexpected death in 1975 in Indonesia, Mrs. Hutton liquidated her international oil interests and returned home to Villa Park, CA, in Orange County, California.[http://www.huttonfoundation.org/history.html Hutton Foundation - History.] Hutton Foundation.

During the late 1970s, Hutton was primarily a venture capitalist and private equity partner in numerous real estate developments throughout the state of California. By the end of the 1970s, Hutton had evolved into a full service real estate development company and land owner.Griffiths, Sir Eldon; Lessor, Roberta; Yeager, Myron (1998). The Hutton Story.

In 1985, Mrs. Hutton retired from Hutton Companies to pursue her philanthropic work with her non-profit foundation. Today, the Hutton Foundation has approximately $100,000,000 in endowment and donates millions annually to the arts, health care, education, and civic causes.[http://www.huttonfoundation.org/annual-report/president_msg.html Hutton Foundation - 2007 Annual Report.] Hutton Foundation.

Mrs. Hutton was a generous benefactor of education and children causes. Chapman University has recognized Hutton's generosity by naming several of its facilities after Hutton, including the Harold Hutton Sports Center and the Betty Hutton Williams Colonnade. The Betty Hutton Williams Medal, established in 1994, is the highest academic honor given to a Chapman University business or economics student.[http://www.chapman.edu/admission/news/news_story.asp?iNewsID=191&strBack=%2Fpubrel%2Fnews%2Fnews_archive.asp Betty Hutton Williams Medal] Chapman University.

"Betty the Panther"- The statue – depicting a panther leaping up to try to capture an eagle — is named in honor of the late philanthropist and longtime Chapman supporter Betty Hutton Williams. The particularly athletic leap of the university mascot is emblematic of Williams’ indomitable support and enthusiasm for Chapman, President Jim Doti said during the dedication.{{Cite web|date=2015-04-23|title=Say hello to "Betty the Panther," the newest Chapman mascot|url=https://news.chapman.edu/2015/04/23/say-hello-to-betty-the-panther-the-newest-chapman-mascot/|access-date=2021-07-27|website=Chapman Newsroom|language=en}}

The California-based Hutton Parker Foundation owns and operates 16 nonprofit office buildings (15 in Santa Barbara County) - with nearly 100 nonprofit tenants. The rents are below-market, but the cash flow brings liquidity to the foundation, helping to fund a total of more than $50 million in grants. Unlike many foundations, Hutton Parker makes most of these grants for operating expenses - not new programs.{{Cite web |last=Crandell |first=Steven |date=2015-02-05|title=The Landlord Philanthropist|url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/real-estate-philanthropy_b_6615226 |access-date=2021-07-27 |website=HuffPost |language=en}} The $100 Million Secret (Kele Books).
