PHILANTHROPY: These are the 100 most influential people shaping the future of giving.

The article focuses on the philanthropic initiatives of Michael and Susan Dell, who pledged $6.25 billion to create investment accounts—called "Trump accounts"—for millions of American children born between 2016 and 2028, aiming to provide them with a financial foundation by age 18. This program, supported by government seed money and private contributions, seeks to promote economic opportunity and financial literacy among youth, particularly in lower- and middle-income ZIP codes. The Dells’ approach builds on their long-standing charitable work through the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation and reflects a broader trend of large-scale, targeted philanthropy addressing social inequities. The article also situates their efforts within a wider context of global philanthropic activities by various notable individuals and organizations addressing diverse social, educational, and health challenges worldwide.
