Question: The largest gift of private land ever given to a government in South America was donated by the a family closely connected to which outdoor gear company?
Context: Outdoor Research is an American outdoor apparel and gear company located in Seattle, Washington.  The company was founded in 1981 by “physicist turned outdoor adventurer” Ron Gregg, who led the brand until his death in 2003.  Since then the company has been run by Dan Nordstrom, a Seattle native and outdoor athlete, who acquired the company after Gregg's death.  The company in 1999 produced the most Gore Products in the Outdoor industry, measured by units produced. The church in the heart of Madanapalle was built by an American missionary a century ago.  Madanapalle in Chittoor, the southernmost district of Andhra Pradesh, India has a historic church.  This magnificent church in the heart of the town, was built by an American missionary, Dr. Jacob Chamberlain, nearly hundred years ago.  The cool and salubrious climate of Madanapalle attracted many missionaries from abroad who settled here and did yeoman service to the development of the Madanapalle Church.  But Dr. Chamberlain, a selfless missionary, an efficient surgeon and a devoted educationalist, was the earliest foreign resident of this town.  Though an American by birth, he lived and served the people here for nearly half a century.Inspired by the work of Scudder brothers, who worked in India as missionaries, Dr. Jacob Chamberlain came to India in 1860 to work for the AAM.  After a short stay in Palamaner, near Chittoor, he arrived in Madanapalle in 1863.  He served the people with dedication, care and love.  His services in the field of education and health endeared him to everyone.  Dr. Chamberlain bought a piece of land, which came to be known as the Mission Compound, got a thatched bungalow built and started a dispensary.  He founded the Madanapalle Church on July 9, 1865, with a modest membership of eight adults and eight children.  Soon, the number steadily grew and by 1888, the membership increased to 52.  As years passed, Dr. Chamberlain raised several buildings in the sprawling mission compound where he set up besides a dispensary, a school and also a modest Chapel.  He was a doctor, a teacher, organiser and a preacher — all rolled into one.  The dispensary that he started grew into the present Government Hospital.  The Hope High School, the CSI Girls School, the Municipal Fort School and the MLL Hospital — all were founded due to the efforts of Dr. Chamberlain.  But a major contribution to the town was the construction of a beautiful church.  The need to have spacious church building was felt as the number who attended the congregations increased.  The imposing red-brick church edifice in the heart of the town, a landmark of Madanapalle, owes its construction to Dr. Jacob Chamberlain.  When he decided to get the church built, many European and local inhabitants came forward with donations.  The first contribution was in 1888 by the then sub-collector of Madanapalle, W.H. Welsh, when he gave half the proceeds of the sale of his horse, when he left for England.  The amount thus donated was Rs. 101.  The land was procured with the help of the local rich residents, Gangarapu Subbi Reddi and C.M. Murugesa Mudaliar.  The foundation stone was laid by Mrs. E.E. Olcott of New York, who was closely connected with the activities of A.A.M. in India. David G. Booth (born 1946) is an American businessman.  He is the co-founder and co-CEO of Dimensional Fund Advisors (along with Rex Sinquefield and Eduardo Repetto, respectively).  In 2008, he donated $300 million to the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business (equivalent to $ million in 2016 ), which is the largest donation ever given to a business school. Robert W. "Bob" Gore (born April 15, 1937) is an American engineer and scientist, inventor and businessman.  Gore has led his family's company, W. L. Gore & Associates, in developing applications of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) ranging from computer cables to medical equipment to the outer layer of space suits.  His most significant breakthrough is likely the invention of Gore-Tex, a waterproof/breathable fabric popularly known for its use in sporting and outdoor gear. Kristine McDivitt Tompkins (born in 1950, née Wear) is an American conservationist and former CEO of Patagonia, Inc. She is the widow of businessman and conservationist Douglas Tompkins, who died in 2015.  The two worked together to create large wilderness conservation areas in Chile and Argentina.  Kris continues with strong efforts in South America today, alongside those who have been with the various areas from the beginning working to revert them to their original state. New Venture Gear, a division of Magna Powertrain, was an automobile and light truck transmission company that was started in 1990 as the first ever joint venture between any of the Big Three US automakers.

Robert C. Wilburn is the director of Carnegie Mellon University Heinz College's Washington, DC campus as well as a Distinguished Service Professor at the college.  Prior to this position he was the first president and Chief Executive Officer of the Gettysburg Foundation.  He served as president and CEO of the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh and as president of Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.  Under his leadership, the number of customers, members, donors, and volunteers increased sharply within each organization.  The merger of the Buhl Science Center with the Carnegie Institute and the construction of a new $40 million Carnegie Science Center are among his notable accomplishments.  While at the Carnegie Institute, Wilburn also contributed to the founding of the Andy Warhol Museum by negotiating gifts of more than a thousand paintings and drawings from the Warhol and DIA Foundations and by raising funds to secure and renovate a historic, seven-story building in downtown Pittsburgh.  The Warhol Museum is probably the largest museum in the world dedicated to a single artist and may have been the largest gift ever given to a museum at one time, in value.
