Content: The Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, founded in 1896, was designed to improve and promote cultural and educational institutions of Pittsburgh; The Carnegie Institute, which was opened in 1901 in Washington, DC with the support of the US President Theodore Roosevelt, was conceived as a research center to help university education with its research development. In ten years, Carnegie granted a total of 22 million dollars to this Institute. It is possible to assume, that this money was used to discover the expansion of the universe, to prove the essence of DNA as the genetic material, to develop radar, and to find the ruins of the Mayan civilization; The Carnegie Hero Fund (Pittsburgh), founded in 1904, was intended to promote people who had dedicated their activities to peacemaking, who had risked their lives in heroic circumstances, and had saved the lives of others to recognize their deeds by awarding such people medals, material grants, pensions, money for education, etc. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching (New York), which was founded in 1905. The Foundation was initially intended to pay pensions to the teachers (Andrew Carnegie was indignant with the fact that most teachers are paid like clerks in his office), but then it was engaged in the creation of educational standards and uniform national texts. The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, founded in 1910, was intended (in a broad sense) to establish mutual understanding between the peoples and dissemination of information (mostly in the form of publications) in order to preserve peace. It received a total of $10 million during its creation, but now it is considered to be the oldest non-governmental organization specializing in issues of war and peace. This fund finances international conferences, publications and scientific investigations of young researchers (for example, one of them was Sigmund Freud).
