Description
Andrew Carnegie endowed three institutions in Dunfermline, Scotland, where he was born in 1835: Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland (1901); the Carnegie Dunfermline and Hero Fund Trusts (1903); and the Carnegie UK (1913). Since the establishment of the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy (CMoP) in 2001, the three Carnegies have served as hosts of the ceremony in 2005 and 2013. CMoP,held biennially, seeks to inspire a culture of giving by recognizing outstanding philanthropists who reflect the values of Andrew Carnegie and his philosophy of giving—that the surplus wealth of the few should be administered “for the good of the people.” With Carnegie Corporation support, the Carnegies of Dunfermline, led by Carnegie UK, will host the Medals ceremony, the business meeting of the Carnegie institutions, and a welcome reception in May 6 – 7 2025.
