Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan are the first donors under the age of 30 that have made the nation’s largest philanthropic gift after giving 18m shares of Facebook stock to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation in America. The gift was valued at more than $990m.

2013 largest donation came from the founder and CEO of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan. They announced last month (December) that they had given 18m shares of Facebook stock to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.

The donation is “by far the largest gift in our history,” Emmett Carson, CEO of the Mountain View-based foundation, said at the time. Carson declined to say how the money will be used, but added: “We believe this gift will immensely improve the lives of people here and elsewhere.”


“Giving Pledge” campaign is a campaign pioneer by billionaires Bill Gates and Warren Buffet; wealthy individuals like Bill Gates vow to give at least half of their assets to philanthropy over the course of their lives. Mark Zuckrberg is a supporter of this program as he has signed on three years ago to the “Giving Pledge” campaign.

Mark Zuckrberg and his wife have publicly announced their interests and support to causes related to education and health.

The year’s top 15 donors gave a total of $3.4 billion, the Chronicle noted, calling 2013 “notable because of a strong rebound in the number of gifts of $100-million or more.” The total amount of gifts of $100 million or more reached $9.6 billion —a jump of more than one-third over the 2012 figure.http://elvis.blogspot.com/2014/01/list-of-2013-top-charity-donors.html
