Citywealth newsletter names inspirational philanthropists in Europe

Date: 05 Oct 2007

Citywealth

EUROPEAN PHILANTHROPY

Commended for inspirational services to philanthropy/green efforts within Europe.
Awards were given at a Citywealth honour event on 10th October 2007 in Monaco at The Hotel de Paris, with a charity auction held and proceeds given to Outward Bound Monaco.

Although ‘new philanthropy’ is the latest terminology for applying market forces to philanthropy, those listed here have been involved in inspirational philanthropic work for decades.

Many names listed may be high profile and ‘known’ to the world at large but this was not the intention behind our list of inspirational names involved with philanthropy. Philanthropists rarely seek recognition, praise or publicity but despite this the names listed here have built significant respect and admiration from wealth managers and advisers for their long term energy and commitment in their philanthropic endeavours. For that reason they have been included. We also include links to their organisations to help raise funds and profile with their respective programmes.

Citywealth as part of its mission statement promotes and assists all charitable, philanthropic efforts and appeals with vigour, harnessing contacts and resources within the global wealth management industry. There were numerous American philanthropic organisations but this time it’s Europe’s turn. Citywealth will promote US philanthropy in our Feb 2008 programme.
