The Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy, created at the centennial observance of Andrew Carnegie’s official career as a philanthropist, is given biennially to one or more individuals who, like Mr. Carnegie, have dedicated their private wealth to the public good and who have impressive careers as philanthropists. Medalists are chosen through an international selection committee comprised of the leadership of several of the more than 20 organizations established by Mr. Carnegie. This forum is the first in a series highlighting philanthropy as a catalyst for innovation and positive change.
