War has often catalyzed developments in American giving, just as it has in other countries. Various American wars have reshaped Americans’ ideas of moral responsibility and their practices of philanthropy.
This group was established to unite French orphans with American "godparents" through charitable giving.
Our resources explore a range of American experiences during various wars. We have launched a collecting initiative focused on war and Latino philanthropy and will add more resources as our collection develops.
Philanthropy Initiative resources featuring this topic, era, or cause—in whole or in part—appear below. Use the filter function at the bottom of the page to refine the results.
