Philanthropy

Philanthropy is defined as the promotion to welfare of others expressed especially by generous donation of money to good cause. I have learned that philanthropy is how we get some of the major foundations in the world today, Michael Jackson donated more than $500 million to foundations and charity organizations he was one of the only singers that gave charity concerts. Andrew Carnegie gave away 90% of his fortune to charities all around the world, which was $2 billion, most of them were due to education, he was very big on helping others with college education, libraries, and many more.Bill gates gave away $29 billion to the bill and Melinda foundation which helps health and education all around the world. If i were to become a philanthropist i would give my money to special needs children as in help with health care, because sometimes those children's health care is more then the parents can afford. I would also help with the education for the homeless, and children that don't have enough money for school. I would help open up some free schools around where everything is free and the donation of food and bathrooms would help a lot.
