2011 Giving Back 30 Released in Parade

 

The Giving Back Fund's fifth annual Giving Back 30, a list of celebrities who have made the largest donations to charity in 2010 according to public records, was released in the December 18, 2012 issue of PARADE Magazine and online at www.PARADE.com. To compile the most accurate information, The Giving Back Fund reviewed media reports of charitable giving by sports and entertainment professionals; made inquiries to more than 250 celebrity publicists, attorneys, agents, agencies, and managers for information about their clients; sent requests to charities known for their celebrity affiliations; and contacted the major sports leagues and associations. Information was confirmed by at least one source other than an initial media source. Donations made by a celebrity’s foundation were not included on the list since there is no way to track the source of that money, which could be money raised by the public and not money donated by the celebrity.
