<h3><strong>Philanthropy (G-3)</strong></h3>
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.

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.
