<em><strong>“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.” </strong></em><br /> <br />-Winston Churchill<br /> <br />Philanthropy is an age-old concept, which comes in many forms to provide support in dealing with the root causes of major global challenges; resource scarcities in small communities; and individual needs among the disabled and disadvantaged. Philanthropy provides a broad perspective for thinking about the meaning of one’s life in reference to personal sacrifice, and good will. The desire to “give back” may be the province of the most fortunate among us, but the desire to give is much more universal. Donors, whether large or small, also recognize the importance of giving more than money. Many are able to give non-financial assets, such as their influence to advance advocacy programs, contacts and networks to expand the reach of fundraising initiatives; and their professional expertise. The field of philanthropy also plays an important role in supporting experimental stages of innovative ideas, which when proven can be utilized and implemented by governments toward addressing public problems. Philanthropists are often at the helm of initiatives involving partnerships between public and private organizations as well as civil society.<br /> <br />Philanthropists have traditionally been the major contributors to the establishment of important public institutions, such as free libraries, hospitals, medical colleges, science laboratories, sports and entertainment centers, and universities. These are recognized as social investments with returns that can reduce human suffering and improve the general well-being of individuals and societies through solving social problems, enriching cultures, and strengthening societies. Philanthropy is fundamental to culture of the United States. The number of benevolent organizations continues to rise. Private businesses are also becoming more caring and socially responsible with organizational policies that promote better working environments and practices that benefit society beyond what they are legally required to do.<br /> <br />The Philanthropy gallery presents examples of noteworthy philanthropists from the mid 19th century on, who have made important contributions to humanity.

An account of the resource
You don’t have to be a soldier to help the war effort, and Helen Shepard proved that when she gave $100,000 to the United States government during the Spanish-American war. In addition, she gave $50,000 toward military hospital supplies and also aided wounded soldiers by becoming a member of the Women's National War Relief Association. When the war ended, she still found places that needed her aide and so put her efforts towards education. She gave the government another $10,000 to construct an engineering school, and gave additional contributions to Rutgers College. She also donated a library building at the New York University, and was active in the YMCA and YWCA programs.

Caroline White saw from an early age how badly drivers treated their horses, and was inspired to do something about it into adulthood. After helping create a Philadelphia branch of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, she quickly realized that they wouldn’t allow women leaders, and so established the Women’s Humane Society to help as she always intended. The Society opened America’s first animal shelter for homeless dogs and cats, and employed cruelty officers to stop, prevent, and bring justice to animal cruelty. Her proudest moment was the passing of the Twenty-Eight Hour Law, which required transit companies to water, feed and rest animals every twenty-eight hours. She also established the American Anti-Vivisection Society to stop scientific experiments on animals that bordered on the cruel. By going on tours to show the horrors of animal abuse, including the Chicago World’s fair, they helped Massachusetts ban all vivisections in elementary and secondary schools, with other states following

<em><strong>“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.” </strong></em><br /> <br />-Winston Churchill<br /> <br />Philanthropy is an age-old concept, which comes in many forms to provide support in dealing with the root causes of major global challenges; resource scarcities in small communities; and individual needs among the disabled and disadvantaged. Philanthropy provides a broad perspective for thinking about the meaning of one’s life in reference to personal sacrifice, and good will. The desire to “give back” may be the province of the most fortunate among us, but the desire to give is much more universal. Donors, whether large or small, also recognize the importance of giving more than money. Many are able to give non-financial assets, such as their influence to advance advocacy programs, contacts and networks to expand the reach of fundraising initiatives; and their professional expertise. The field of philanthropy also plays an important role in supporting experimental stages of innovative ideas, which when proven can be utilized and implemented by governments toward addressing public problems.

Description
An account of the resource
While Elizabeth Anderson was living in New York, she noted the deplorable conditions around the state and sought to improve them with her and her husband’s wealth. In 1913 she established the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, which would later become the Community Service Society of New York, and it funded many improvements for public schools such as drinking fountains, school lunches, medical inspections, and ventilation. For six years she was the largest donor to what is now known as Mental Health America which helps war veterans with shell-shock. She was also the largest donator, until her death, to Barnard College and was on its board of trustees. In addition, she gave the same amount of money, $100, 000 dollars, to Lillian Wald's Henry Street Settlement and to the Harlem Office of the Legal Aid Society, the latter which she helped fund.

An account of the resource
Frances Wisebart Jacobs more than earned her nickname as the “Mother of Charities” as she founded and aided many charities throughout her lifetime. For the Jewish pioneers in Denver, she founded the Hebrew Ladies' Benevolent Society in order to help them with their tuberculosis and giving them coal, soup, clothing, physicians and soap. It still runs today as Jewish Family Service of Colorado and as a nonprofit, nonsectarian organization that serves over 20,000 people per year. Back then, tuberculosis was a deadly tragedy and when she thought the Society wasn’t enough, she helped create the Denver's Jewish Hospital Association, which stopped the disease from being an epidemic. She also founded the Denver Ladies Relief Society to speak for equal rights for women in the workplace, the adversity of homeless women, and the need to separate male and female prisoners. She would go on to advocate for free kindergarten classes, and had a hand in creating the United Way charity organization.

An account of the resource
In 1866, George Angell was attending a horse race when he saw two horses being run to death. In that moment, he resolved to use his skills as a lawyer and his funds to improvement treatment for animals so this tragedy wouldn’t happen again. He accomplished this in two ways in 1868, first by founding and being the president of Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and then forming and editing the journal Our Dumb Animals. Still feeling this was not enough, he continued to found and create more ways to establish protection for animals. He established the movement Bands of Mercy, which promoted the ethical treatment of animals, founded and became president of the American Humane Education Society. His efforts had over 70,000 members joining in on his causes.

After retiring from his internet and phone businesses in 1998, Gregory Carr dedicated the rest of his life to philanthropy and charity. The year after, he got his start by creating the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University, which seeks to implement save human rights across the world. In the same year he also founded the non-profit organization Gregory C. Carr Foundation. One of the big goals of this foundation is the 30 year long mission to restore the Gorongosa National Park in central Mozambique along with aiding the communities around the park. In addition, he can even turn bad land into good land, as he purchased a compound formally owned by the Aryan nations and other Nazi oriented groups and turned it into a peace park in Idaho. Idaho also has a museum he helped co-found along with the Market Theater he opened. Today, he sits on the board of another non-profit organization, Internews, which advocates independent journalism.

An account of the resource
Zachary Fisher couldn’t join the army when he was younger due to a leg injury, but was determined to support them in any way he could throughout the rest of his life. He founded a campaign in 1978 to save the USS Intrepid (CV-11), a historic World War II aircraft carrier, and with his money he helped turn it into the center of New York’s Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum. When the museum opened, it was the same year he and his wife created the Zachary and Elizabeth M. Fisher Armed Services Foundation, which aids families who have lost loved ones in the military and gives scholarship funds to active and former service members. When the Fishers were told about the lack of temporary housing for families of service members in hospitals, they went right to work creating the Fisher House Foundation. The foundation has created over 50,000 temporary lodgings for such families, and helps save those families an estimated $5 million.
