With a $10 million grant from the John Templeton Foundation, the Philanthropy Project is out to transform every American man, woman and child into a philanthropist. Launched at the start of what is forecast to be the largest transfer of private wealth in human history, the aim is to substantially increase the percentage of that wealth going to philanthropy. Working with the American Film Institute, it will aim to inspire ageing Baby Boomers by telling the rousing, untold stories of the US’s 68,000 mostly small foundations.
