Givingback.org released a list of the 30 largest (public) charitable donations last year by celebrities and South Nyack’s Rosie O’Donnell came in #6 (just ahead of Bedford’s Martha Stewart). According to the group, $5.7 million of O’Donnell’s money went to Katrina Relief efforts including Renaissance Village (a temporary shelter for Katrina victims), day care centers, a rehabilitation center in San Antonio, and a Habitat for Humanity sub division in Baton Rouge.
Stewart gave $5 million last year to New York’s Mt. Sinai Hospital for a center
on healthy aging, which earned her the number 7 spot. Both women, however, paled in comparison to the number one most charitable celebrity…Oprah Winfrey, who gave $58.3 million last year to the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy, Oprah’s Angel Network, and other groups.
Other former Lohud residents who made the list include:
#11 Angelina Jolie (and Brad Pitt)—$2.4 million to Namibia’s School and Community Center in Swakopmund, the Daniel Pearl Foundation, Namibian hospitals, Doctors without Borders, Global Action for Children and others.
#20 Denzel Washington—$1 million to Save Africa’s Children
