“Charitable giving is vital to providing a social safety net in the United States and the world,” says Stephen Margol of Biltmore Who’s Who. “Biltmore Who's Who encourages all of our members to join us in supporting local and national charities.”
The annual report from Giving USA Foundation showed US charitable giving reached $295 billion in 2008. The report also shows that $12.72 billion of the total gifts were given by corporate foundations or corporations like Biltmore Who’s Who.
“We hope that other companies will leverage the power of their networks to encourage their peers to give individually as well,” says Margol. “The push for corporate responsibility in America shouldn’t be the only driving force for giving by corporations. Biltmore Who’s Who chose the organizations we did because we are touched by the people and missions involved in each.”
