Charitable Donations on the Rise

According to information found on the website philanthropy.com   , America’s top 50 donors gave a total of $10.4-billion in 2011, which was noticably more than the 3.3 billion donated in 2010.   29 people donated  50 million or more including the bequest of   Margaret A. Cargill of  6 billion, and the bequest of   William S. Dietrich II  of  500 million.

I always say that you never know what may happen in your future, and I just love the story of how during  2004 Mr. Robert L . Tidwell told a childrens  hospital  he wanted to donate a computer. He was offered a tour of the facility by members of  the hospital foundation, and then last year when he died it was discoverd that he had left $30 million to the  foundation.
