Eastman’s life of vision and gift to many causes
The Rochester financier George Eastman died by his own hand, leaving a vast philanthropic footprint. He gave about 90 million dollars to MIT, University of Rochester, Tuskegee, Hampton Institute, the Rochester Dental Dispensary, War Chest, and more, plus 9 million shares to employees. He pioneered and popularized the Kodak camera and its innovations, built cultural institutions in Rochester, supported music and education, and endowed medical and dental facilities. He started with $5,000, built Eastman Dry Plate, introduced the Kodak, and left a legacy of science, art, and community aid in a life characterized by invention and generosity.
