  • The Annenberg Foundation
    Trustees Gregory Annenberg Weingarten, Charles Anenberg Weingarten, Wallis Annenberg and Lauren Bon (photo by Jim McHugh) The Annenberg Foundation Courtesy of Southern California Grantmakers By James Klein, James Klein Consulting While global in scope, the Annenberg Foundation has a special relationship with the Los Angeles area. The Annenberg Foundation’s Radnor, Pennsylvania headquarters was established with its creation in 1989, while the Southern California office didn’t become fully operational until 2003. Four out of five of the Foundation’s Trustees live in Los Angeles County, however, and work from its Century City office. While both locations accept grant submissions from anywhere in the world, the Trustees’ presence in the region and close involvement in the organization naturally leads to support for local projects. “Our perspective is a Los Angeles one,” says Leonard Aube, Managing Director of the Annenberg Foundation’s Southern California operations. “Those of us here today were not transferred from the Radnor, Pennsylvania office. We were brought on under Wallis Annenberg’s leadership to support her philanthropy in the region primarily.” The Annenberg Foundation is the 11th largest nationwide in giving, authorizing over $250 million in grants to more than 500 nonprofit organizations in its most recently completed fiscal year. The institution ranks 18th overall in total assets nationwide with more than $2.5 billion. Though sizable, the Annenberg Foundation is a family affair. Publisher, diplomat, and philanthropist Walter H. Annenberg founded the organization in 1989. His wife, Leonore Annenberg, became President and Chairman after his passing in 2002. His daughter, Wallis Annenberg, emerged as Vice President.

  • Philanthropy New York, 2008
    History of U.S. Philanthropy The word "philanthropy" derives from the Ancient Greek phrase philanthropia , meaning "to love people." Today, the concept of philanthropy includes the act of voluntary giving by individuals or groups to promote the common good. It also refers to the formal practice of grantmaking by foundations to nonprofit organizations. Cultural Origins in the U.S. Philanthropy in the Unites States has emerged from a number of cultural influences, such as: • Strong religious beliefs and traditions • Practices of collective hunting, food distribution and potlatches in Native American communities • Cultures of mutual assistance and support among multiple waves of settler and immigrant communities It wasn't until after the Civil war that the modern business of philanthropy began to form. Until then, charity was a mostly fragmented endeavor driven largely by religious groups and characterized by almsgiving and volunteerism aimed at assisting the immediate problems of the urban poor. Industrialization and the Rise of Modern Philanthropy. At the end of the 19th century, charities started taking a more systematic approach to the work of improving social conditions, and adopted management methods that were gaining a following in the business world. Modern grantmaking was founded on the large-scale donations of a number of individuals and families who made their wealth during the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the steel, oil, railroad, telegraph, and automobile industries (such as Sage, Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Ford). Democratization and Growth of the Field. American generosity and volunteerism was spurred again by World War I. During this time, Americans gave more then $400 million in gifts and membership dues to the Red Cross in connection with the war, signaling the growth of grassroots fundraising and the democratization of giving.

  • Lacma Receives Major Gift from Wallis Annenberg to Acquire Renowned Collection of 3500 Photographs
    LACMA RECEIVES MAJOR GIFT FROM WALLIS ANNENBERG TO ACQUIRE RENOWNED COLLECTION OF 3,500 PHOTOGRAPHS LACMA honors gift by naming the Wallis Annenberg Department of Photography Imogen Cunningham, Edward Weston, Magnolia Blossom, 1925 Nude (Anita Brenner), 1925 Los Angeles—The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) announces that it has received a groundbreaking gift from Wallis Annenberg and the Annenberg Foundation in support of photography. A substantial portion of the gift will support the acquisition of The Marjorie and Leonard Vernon Collection, a group of more than 3,500 prints that forms one of the finest histories of photography and collections of masterworks from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Highlights, including seminal photographs by Ansel Adams, Julia Margaret Cameron, Edward Steichen, W.H. Fox Talbot, and Edward Weston, will be presented in LACMA’s exhibition, A Story of Photography: The Marjorie and Leonard Vernon Collection, opening October 5 in the Ahmanson Building. Through the largesse of Wallis Annenberg and the Annenberg Foundation, this collection becomes the most significant and valuable gift of photography in the museum’s history. Wallis Annenberg’s tremendous support of LACMA includes not only the acquisition of The Marjorie and Leonard Vernon Collection, but also a contribution to a new study room, opening in early 2011, that will allow for access to the entire photography collection at LACMA. Head of the newly named Wallis Annenberg Photography Department, Charlotte Cotton, said, “This staggering acquisition will enable LACMA to present multiple narratives of nineteenth and twentieth-century photography to its actual and virtual visitors, and to enhance the appreciation of photography, as Marjorie and Leonard always hoped the collection would.
