British Philanthropists Giving More
The very rich in Great Britain are giving more and more to causes in developing countries, reports The Times.
British philanthropists are backing projects such as supporting teachers in Rwanda and providing AIDS treatment in Mozambique. Such giving has led to a 97-percent increase over the past year in donations from the 30 most-generous donors among Britain’s 1,000 richest people.
Leading the charge is Sir Tom Hunter, the Scottish sportswear tycoon who plans to give more than $1.5-billion of his fortune to charity.
Read The Chronicle’s profile of Mr. Hunter. Also see The Chronicle’s list of America’s top donors.
