A visionary American businessman responsible for building the first global hotel empire, Conrad N. Hilton was a dedicated philanthropist committed to world peace. He established the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation in 1944, naming it as the primary beneficiary of his estate. In his Last Will and Testament he acknowledged the good works of Roman Catholic Sisters. This led to the creation of the separate Conrad N. Hilton Fund for Sisters in 1986, established to support the apostolic work of Roman Catholic Sisters around the world to help disadvantaged and vulnerable people.
