60 Largest Charitable Contributions for 2007

Slate web magazine has posted The 2007 Slate 60, which lists the 60 largest American charitable contributions of the year. The donations are rated by size, and the listing provides information about the source of the donor’s wealth, the amount pledged and the identity of payment recipients.

The three highest ranking donors for the year 2007 were Leona Helmsley, Barron Hilton, and Jon and Karen Huntsman. This information was compiled by the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University.

Special thanks Jeffrey A. Cooper (Associate Professor of Law, Quinnipiac University School of Law) for bringing this information to my attention.
