A visionary philanthropist

During his lifetime, Andrew Carnegie initiated the creation of over twenty different charitable foundations, in the USA , the UK and Europe. These charities continue Carnegie’s vision of philanthropy to this day, supporting the advancement of education, science, wellbeing, peace, ethics as well as culture and the arts. The various Carnegie Hero Fund Trusts in Europe and America work to recognise acts of civilian heroism.

Surplus wealth is a sacred trust which its possessor is bound to administer in his lifetime for the good of the community.
