Wealthy donors shape 1911 charity totals in the United States
The Algoun Courier notes that 1911 set a record for charitable giving driven by major benefactors including Carnegie and Rockefeller. Total gifts reached about 260.83 million with Carnegie contributing over 40 million that year and Rockefeller around 3.82 million. The report outlines three gift categories and highlights individual, educational, and general public benefactions. It also mentions Dr. Samual Ballas, James A. Patten heirs, and John D. Rockefeller’s diversified research funding. Meanwhile the paper endorses Miss Margaret Dorweiler for county superintendent of schools, citing her long teaching record in Fenton and Garfield Township, and touches on local drainage-cost concerns.
