最優良的"遺產":許文龍先生的奇美博物館、英國Henry Moore先生 基金會故居、 John Fowles先生的故居 Belmont

 

給世人的 "遺產",是很複雜的事。

日本許多私人美術館或"故居",只是一面向。

台灣有錢人日多,或許可參考。有人願拿出三四十億元學習倫敦政經學院 (設在清華.......)

政府的角色也很可討論,如法國政府設Marc Chagall 聖經資訊博物館等之作法。

On International Women's Day today, we're honoring our founder Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney.
In the beginning of the twentieth century, Mrs. Whitney—a sculptor herself—saw that American artists with new ideas had trouble exhibiting or selling their work. She began purchasing and showing their artwork, eventually becoming the leading patron of American art from 1907 until her death in 1942.
In 1914, Mrs. Whitney established the Whitney Studio in Greenwich Village, and by 1929 she had assembled a collection of more than 500 pieces. After her offer of this gift to the Met was declined, she set up her own institution, one with a distinctive mandate: to focus exclusively on the art and artists of the US. This year, the Whitney will celebrate its 92nd anniversary.

IOWA國際寫作班

 你可能小看了美國的慈善事業Paul和聶華苓開創的國際寫作班,肯定是了不起的。他

Paul和聶華苓開創的國際寫作班,肯定是了不起的。它早期也許有些CIA的資助,於是台灣的名作家朱先生等 ("他們沒在寫小說的時候"),將所有資助單位都"視為"CIA 外圍組織.....
其實,有許多作家、公司等都大力資助過。
譬如殷允芃1970年訪問過的名作家,密契那,就是捐助者.....


Kuohsun Shih
事情或許可以從美國今日世界出版社算起(或者美式私立大學捐助成立者)

MacKenzie Scott is shaking up the world of giving











MacKenzie Scott (née Tuttle, formerly Bezos; April 7, 1970)[1][2] is an American novelist and philanthropist.

她是“捐贈誓言”的簽署人,“捐贈誓言”承諾將至少一半的財富捐給慈善機構。[5] 到2020年,她捐贈了近60億美元的慈善禮物,這是私人每年向工作慈善機構捐款的最大額之一。[6] [7]


2006年,斯科特(Scott)因其2005年的首本小說《路德·奧爾布賴特的測試(The Testing of Luther Albright)》而獲得美國圖書獎。[8] 她的第二本小說《陷阱》於2013年出版。[9] 斯科特(Scott)自2014年創立《旁觀者革命》(Bystander Revolution)以來,一直擔任該公司的執行董事,並被《時代》雜誌評選為2020年“最具影響力的100個人”之一。


 She is a signatory to the Giving Pledge, a commitment to give at least half of her wealth to charity.[5] In 2020, she made close to US$6 billion in charitable gifts, one of the biggest annual distributions by a private individual to working charities.[6][7]

In 2006, Scott won the American Book Award for her 2005 debut novel, The Testing of Luther Albright.[8] Her second novel, Traps, was published in 2013.[9] Scott has been executive director of Bystander Revolution since she founded it in 2014, and was named one of TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2020.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacKenzie_Scott


在2020年7月的年中報告中,斯科特宣布她已向116個非營利組織捐贈了17億美元,重點是種族平等,LGBTQ +平等,民主和氣候變化。[30]這些組織中的兩個是傳統上是黑人的莫爾豪斯學院和霍華德大學。[31]


不到六個月後的2020年12月,斯科特表示,在過去四個月中,她又向384個組織捐贈了41.5億美元,重點是為受COVID-19大流行對經濟造成影響的人們提供支持並解決長期系統性不平等。[32]她指出,7月之後,她希望自己的諮詢團隊更快地釋放財富,因為美國在面對COVID-19的空前影響而掙扎的同時,億萬富翁的財富卻在不斷攀升。她的團隊的工作重點是“確定具有強大領導團隊和成果的組織,並特別關注那些面臨著預計的糧食不安全,種族不平等的措施高,地方貧困率高,獲得慈善資本的機會低的社區的組織。” [33 ]


她的2020年慈善捐款總計達58億美元,這是私人向工作慈善機構分配的最大年度捐款之一。
