Flying Food Group CEO: 100% of taxable income 'contributed annually to The Sue Ling Gin Foundation Trust'

The Sue Ling Gin Foundation Trust has made significant donations to various causes. Recently, it contributed $21 million to Chicago CRED (Creating Real Economic Destiny), a program aimed at reducing violence in underserved neighborhoods such as North Lawndale, Roseland, and Pullman. This donation forms part of Flying Food Group's broader philanthropic commitment which also included a $20 million gift to the Field Museum for educational programs.

At the Field Museum's annual gala, it was announced that this donation would support educational programs serving thousands of students as part of a larger $40 million fundraising campaign. In recognition of these contributions, the museum named its education center after Sue Ling Gin and awarded the Trust with the Marshall Field V Award for Distinguished Leadership.

David Cotton has been instrumental in Flying Food Group's growth since joining as CFO two decades ago before becoming CEO. With academic credentials from the University of Chicago and Yale University, he continues to expand FFG's customer base and locations.

Founded in 1983 by Sue Ling Gin, Flying Food Group partners with over 70 international airlines providing in-flight dining experiences from more than 15 kitchen facilities across the United States. The company emphasizes culinary creativity and cultural authenticity while aiming to deliver restaurant-quality meals.
