Andrew Carnegie's philanthropic career began in the 1870s. In his book “The Gospel of Wealth” published in 1889, Mr. Carnegie outlined his philosophy of giving, which asserted that the rich are “trustees” of their wealth and are under a moral obligation to reinvest it in ways that promote the welfare and happiness of the common man.

By the time of his death in 1919, Andrew Carnegie had invested about $350 million dollars (nearly all of his wealth) to advance education, science, culture and international peace.

More than a century later there are 26 organizations around the world that bear his name and carry on work in fields as diverse as art, education, international affairs, peace, and scientific research. The organizations are independent entities and are related by name only.
