How much good is achieved?

• Donations to charity organizations have been very
  popular going back to the beginning of the 20th
  century. Businessmen such as Andrew Carnegie and
  John D. Rockefeller used their wealth to help
  those in need. They found out that traditional
  charity organizations, although they try to feed
  the hungry and help the sick, actually dont
  address the root causes of problems.

• In order to organize more structured local
  community development and help people in local
  communities directly, they organized foundations
  and trusts that were supposed to deal with social
  problems and finance research on certain pressing
  issues. Since these days, a few thousand similar
  institutions have been founded, and at least 50
  of them have funds exceeding a billion dollars.
