Philanthropy is booming in the US – across the nation you can find people willing to give their time, money and offer resources to those in need. An organization in New Mexico is even gearing up to celebrate National Philanthropy Day in November. But the philanthropic bug isn’t just centralized here; it’s popping up all over the world as well. In the UK, the Brits are beginning to see a number of trends in fundraising, annual giving and private philanthropy. A Canadian man began a long walk from British-Columbia to New York City to raise awareness about providing sustainable provincial and federal funding for family support services. And an international charity in Russia has started putting forth significant recourses to offering aid to the homeless in Moscow.
