Citywealth European Philanthropist List Released

London, United Kingdom, September 26, 2007 --(PR.com)-- In 2007, Citywealth a leading wealth management newsletter wanted to balance its editorial on tax planning, super toy's and lifestyles of the rich and famous with a more planet and people friendly thread.

Canvassing opinion from leading wealth managers in Europe, Editor Karen Jones asked wealth managers and advisers which super rich clients and supporting administrative staff were involved with inspirational philanthropy and green efforts around Europe. Most clients wanted no publicity for their work and actively seek the shade. We hope it challenges thinking that the rich and famous are disconnected from the societies they live in and only concerned with themselves.

Philanthropy awards will be given at a Citywealth honour event on 10th October in Monaco at The Hotel de Paris. To support charitable efforts, Citywealth will also hold a charity auction with proceeds given to Outward Bound Monaco which is supported by The Duke of York and Prince Albert II.

About Citywealth's philanthropy list

Although 'new philanthropy' is the latest terminology for applying market forces to philanthropy, those listed here have been involved in
inspirational philanthropic work for decades.

Many names listed may be high profile and 'known' to the world at large but this was not the intention behind our list of inspirational names involved with philanthropy. Philanthropists rarely seek recognition, praise or publicity but despite this the names listed here have built significant respect and admiration from wealth managers and advisers for their long term energy and commitment in their philanthropic endeavors. For that reason they have been included. We also include links to their organisations to help raise funds and
profile with their respective programmes.

Citywealth as part of its mission statement promotes and assists all charitable, philanthropic efforts and appeals with vigour, harnessing contacts and resources within the global wealth management industry.

There were numerous American philanthropic organisations but this time it's Europe's turn. Citywealth will promote US philanthropy in
our Feb 2008 programme.
