Bill and Melinda Gates Among the Inaugural Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy Honorees
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
In 2001, Bill and Melinda Gates were named among the inaugural recipients of the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy, an honor created by the institutions Andrew Carnegie founded to recognize people who devote their private wealth to the public good. The Gateses were celebrated alongside other leading modern philanthropists — an early acknowledgment, barely a year after their foundation was consolidated, of the scale and ambition of their giving.
