A Chronological History of Philanthropy in the United States
In celebration of our tenth anniversary and to highlight the impact of philanthropy in society, National Philanthropic Trust has published A Chronological History of Philanthropy in the United States. This 24-page compilation, a fraction of the historical references we’ve identified, traces the seminal events in the history of philanthropy from the 1600s until the present day in an easy-to-read format. View Sample Pages An initial copy is included in the Donor Advised Fund Kit. For each additional copy, the cost is $7.95, plus shipping for orders up to 25 copies, $7.45 plus shipping for 26-50 copies and $6.95 plus shipping for orders of 50 or more. Please note that it is NPT's policy to ship booklets upon receipt of payment. Order now This work is a dynamic project and we plan to make additions to it on a regular basis. Both National Philanthropic Trust and suggestions we receive from the public will be a part of a comprehensive, searchable website we intend to launch later this year.
