They Give Away Half Their Money

Through Good Times and Bad, Members of the 50% League Dig Deep into Their Pockets to Help Strangers in Need
Dec 24th, 2007 - People Magazine
PILAR GONZALES
Earned $16,000 Last Year
Gave Away $8,000
When the temperature soars or dives, Pilar Gonzales wakes up at 6 a.m. and hits the streets around Oakland, handing out coffee and sandwiches to day laborers. In winter she distributes hats and gloves, sometimes lined with $5 bills; in summer she brings water bottles. "One man was so tearful," Gonzales says. "He said, 'Señora, it's like an angel dropped out of heaven.' I said, 'No, señor, I'm just...

Exclusive Club Has One Rule: Just Give

Fifty Percent League Donates Lots of Cash To Charities
Dec 23rd, 2007 - ABC News
Americans set a new record for generosity last year. We gave a total of nearly $300 billion. But few of us could match the generosity of Richard Semmler.

From Windfall To Philanthropy

The Suddenly Rich Are Finding Fresh Ways To Share Their Wealth
Oct 1st, 2007 - CBS News
Put yourself in Becky Liebman's shoes. For 20 years she worked as a librarian. And then she found out she was a millionaire - many times over.
Her first reaction was: "Yikes!”
Her father's business had done better than she knew - a lot better. She got more money than she ever expected. Much more than she needed, CBS News correspondent Richard Schlesinger reports.
“It's so unsettling when you have so much and somebody else is struggling,” Liebman...

Extreme Philanthropy

For the last few decades, Americans' charitable giving has hovered around 2% of pretax income. Anne and Christopher Ellinger of Arlington, Mass., have upped the ante with an invitation to what could be considered "extreme philanthropy" — pushing that percentage up to 50. In 2003, they established a foundation called Bolder Giving to inspire people to realize their full giving potential. Today, more than 88 people have joined the organization's 50% League and given away...

Givers Who Keep on Giving

A movement to inspire the wealthy to donate a higher percentage of their riches gathers steam
Twenty-seven years ago, Christopher Ellinger learned to his surprise that he had inherited $250,000, and that another $300,000 would eventually be on its way from his grandparents' estate. At the time, he was barely out of college, living on little money while finding his way as a social-change activist outside Philadelphia.
