Description
An account of the resource
<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.

<strong>"There is no escaping our obligations: our moral obligations as a wise leader and good neighbor in the interdependent community of free nations – our economic obligations as the wealthiest people in a world of largely poor people, as a nation no longer dependent upon the loans from abroad that once helped us develop our own economy – and our political obligations as the single largest counter to the adversaries of freedom."</strong> - Quote from John F. Kennedy's speech to USAID directors and deputy directors on the White House lawn, June 8, 1962. <br /><br />When the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) was created in 1961, it brought together several existing foreign assistance organizations and programs. Leading this transformation was President John F. Kennedy. President Kennedy recognized the need to unite development into a single agency responsible for administering aid to foreign countries to promote social and economic development. <br /><br />USAID’s mission statement highlights two complementary and intrinsically linked goals: ending extreme poverty and promoting the development of resilient, democratic societies that are able to realize their potential. We fundamentally believe that ending extreme poverty requires enabling inclusive, sustainable growth; promoting free, peaceful, and self-reliant societies with effective, legitimate governments; building human capital and creating social safety nets that reach the poorest and most vulnerable.

<p><span>"I am not so much alarmed at the excessive liberty which reigns... as at the inadequate securities which one finds there against tyranny."<br /></span><br />Alexis de Tocqueville was a 19<sup>th</sup>century French Aristocrat what democracy was a highly exotic and new political option.</p>
<p>He was born in 1805 when Napoleon was the populist dictator but Alexis believed that democracy was going to be the future all over the world and so he wanted to know what that would be like, and so he traveled to America in order to further explore, and then embarked on a nine month journey around the new nation once he got there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In 1835, Tocqueville published “Democracy in America,” where he compiled of his thoughts into one of the greatest works of political philosophy. In this book, he touched on the problematic and darkest issues of society.</p>
<p>Five issues struck Tocqueville in particular. These main issues are provided as follows:</p>
<p> </p>
<ol><li>Democracy Breeds Materialism – Americans believed that money seemed to be the only achievement that people believed to be considered admirable</li>
</ol><p>democracy and capitalism – a very oppressive and flat way of life</p>
<p> </p>
<ol start="2"><li>Democracy Breeds Envy and Shame – in a chapter of his book “Why the Americans are often so Restless Amidst their prosperity” high expectations and dissatisfaction, between political equality and envy < relationship between</li>
</ol><p>when inequality is the general rule in society the greatest inequalities attract no attention but when everything is level, the slightest variation is noticed.<br /><br /></p>
<ol start="3"><li>The Tyranny of the Majority</li>
</ol><p><br />Generally, we think of democracy as being the opposite of tyranny, but in a tyranny of the majority – society has an aggressive leveling instinct regarded as a civic of virtue to take down anyone that seems to be getting “above themselves” and cut anyone down to size.</p>
<h1><strong> </strong></h1>
<ol start="4"><li><span> </span> Democracy Turns Us Against Authority</li>
</ol><p> </p>
<p><span> </span>In the United States, people of no distinction tend ot believe that anyone could be “better than them” b/c they trained to be a doctor for 6 years, or wrote a lot of great books, etc. <span> </span>In sum, Tocqueville believed that democracy in the Americas was fatally bias towards mediocracy.</p>
<p> </p>
<ol start="5"><li>Democracy Undermines Freedom of Mind</li>
</ol><p></p>
<p>Tocqueville believed that one could find few places with less freedom of mind and Americans gave up on independence of mind and freedom of discussion, giving up on critical thinking and giving their faith to newspapers instead and hesitant of stepping too far out of line with their neighbors, who could be potential customers, as it could undermine business.</p>

An account of the resource
Though Judah Touro often wished to remain anonymous when he made his donations, it wasn’t an easily kept secret, and he soon became known throughout New Orleans for his generosity. He used his real estate business profits to build cemeteries, synagogues, almshouses, and churches. When sailors were coming down with batches of yellow fever, he helped build an infirmary just for them. Though he gave greatly to causes of his own religion, such as helping open the Jews' Hospital in New York City with a $20,000 donation, he also aided those outside of his faith, as during a New Orleans fund-raising drive for Christians suffering persecution in Jerusalem, he gave ten times more than any other donor. He also gave help on a face to face level, giving $1,500 to a woman who asked for help for her starving children and paying the $900 debt of an alcoholic man with a large family so that the man's children would be spared the separation from their parent. His passing and will left endowments for almost every Jewish organization in New Orleans.

<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.

Description
An account of the resource
For every celebration and tragedy Simon Guggenheim and his family went through, he used his wealth to benefit the world as a result. When he was married to his wife Olga Hirsch, they provided a Thanksgiving dinner for 5,000 poor children in Manhattan. When they had the birth of their first child, this celebration came with an $80,000 donation to the Colorado School of Mines, resulting in a building named after them, Guggenheim Hall. The same son would die before getting to college, and so in his honor they created the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, which offered 50 fellowships for international study. The Foundation still lives strong today, as it has given over 15,000 fellowships. Guggenheim continued to help those around him even without a cause before it, such as when in 1909 he donated a law building to the University of Colorado.

An account of the resource
Kate Barett understood that in order to achieve her goals, she’d need to be taken seriously, which is why she pursued a medical degree in order to the title that would hold people’s attention. With it, she co-founded the National Florence Crittenton Mission, which strove to provide aid and homes to prostitutes and unmarried mothers. She helped gain the first-ever federal charter for a charitable organization thanks to an act of Congress signed by President McKinley. As the homes expanded, Barett took notice that nearby maternity hospitals weren’t satisfactory, and so helped fund hospitals by her homes to better aid them. The homes joined with the Topeka Home, founded by Topeka Blacks, to provide the same aid for African-American women in similar situations. Her other donations and works included participation in the League of Women Voters, the Parent-Teacher Association, and the Daughters of the American Revolution.

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.

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.
