Money has power. Giving money away has more.

Philanthropy powers growth and outreach. It provides solutions to unsolved problems, creates new ideas and makes daily life endurable for millions. American philanthropy is no longer the province of the priveleged; it's an active force for change that emanates from every part of this country. We see its generosity most explosively after crises like Hurricane Katrina, but, like bulbs underground, the power of giving creates energy day and night.

Explore our compendium of facts, figures and - yes - fun, all about the sometimes mysterious world of philanthropy.
