Harold Matzner was a celebrated philanthropist, business innovator, and cultural architect who transformed Palm Springs into a world-class destination for arts and civic life. He was widely known as “Mr. Palm Springs,”. Matzner was more than a benefactor — he was a builder, strategist, and force of nature whose generosity and vision reshaped the Coachella Valley. Over nearly four decades, he donated more than $85 million to local nonprofits, championed healthcare, education, and the arts, and elevated the Palm Springs International Film Festival into a premier stop on Hollywood’s awards circuit.
