Maximum Difference Foundation

Michael Amin is an entrepreneur, executive, and investor based in LA. He is the founder and CEO of Primex World Inc. and a graduate of Cal State, Northridge’s business program. Michael Amin is also a noted philanthropist, having founded the Maximum Difference Foundation (MDF) to promote positive social change. One focus of MDF is advocating for parents to learn the art and science of good parenting, believing that raising well-adjusted kids is one of the best ways to make the maximum positive difference. In doing this, MDF emphasizes a return-on-investment approach to philanthropy, measuring impact by the units of positive change it creates. The Foundation does not provide any training directly but rather aims to motivate parents to learn the art and science of parenting by reading books, watching videos, going to seminars, and consulting therapists. MDF also partners with organizations like Doctors Without Borders, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch to optimize its impact.
