How Philanthropy Created America

Philanthropy in America is a bursting, bubbling impulse that has vital effects on almost every sector of our society. Private action to solve public problems is one of the practices that most distinguishes the U.S. from other nations, and it continues to play a crucial role in keeping our communities healthy and our economy burgeoning.

Karl Zinsmeister, Vice President of Publications for The Philanthropy Roundtable and author of The Almanac of American Philanthropy and What Comes Next? discusses how philanthropy can produce encouraging culture reform no matter what happens in government.

Jean-Marie Papoi is a digital producer for the arts & culture team at Ideastream Public Media.
