Slate magazine has released its list of 60 top philanthropists. And according to National Dialogue on Entrepreneurship, once again many have entrepreneurial roots.
“The 2004 list shows that most of the big givers are active or former entrepreneurs. Overall, it was a good year for philanthropy as the combined contributions of the Slate 60 reached $10.1 billion, smashing last year’s total of $5.9 billion. Bill and Melinda Gates always rank high on the list; they top this year’s Slate 60 with $3.4 billion pledged to their foundation last year.”
