Content: In 1911, Andrew Carnegie created the Carnegie Corporation, as a philanthropic trust to benefit others through the money he had earned through his own success. The Carnegie Corporation still exists today. This foundation stands as a legacy to the foundation Andrew Carnegie envisioned to benefit mankind for generations to come. He started the trust to “promote the advancement and diffusion of knowledge and understanding". The Carnegie Corporation also honors Carnegie’s desire for peace throughout the world and to promote meaningful good and create “ladders on which aspiring can rise”, through grants, programs, and initiatives. Carnegie’s philanthropic organization was started by Carnegie in 1911, with $135 million endowment, which would be about $2 billion in today’s dollars. At the time it was created, it was the largest trust of its kind that had ever been established. The Carnegie Corporation had since made nearly $1.5 billion in grants. Long before he started his foundation, Carnegie made many lasting contributions including starting free public libraries to help everyone become educated, donating over $56 million dollars to build over 2,500 libraries in communities throughout the world.
