There is a primary focus on the United States and European countries. Has there been any communication on adding other sections to contribute to other countries? ERoseK97 (talk) 01:15, 2 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Benjamin Franklin "a world-class physicist"?

Latest comment: 2 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

As far as I am aware, Benjamin Franklin wasn't a physicist, nor "world-class" as is described in the article? He did contribute some discoveries to physics but wasn't the mathematician-type like Newton or Leibniz. Shidouuu (talk) 20:10, 8 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Types of Philanthropy?

Latest comment: 2 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

It might be useful if there were a section that described types of philanthropy, structurally. The organizations of a family foundation vs a community foundation vs corporate philanthropy tend to be very different. Gatogoesleft (talk) 22:20, 29 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
