Philanthropy is almost the only virtue which is sufficiently appreciated by mankind.
Giving Institute, formerly the American Association of Fundraising Counsel (AAFRC) was founded in 1935 to promote the need for professional and ethical standards of practice, and to influence the creation of laws governing philanthropy.
Giving Institute has been involved in many milestones of philanthropy, developing the widely accepted Standards of Professional Conduct, helping to fund the start-up of the United Way, and working with the New York State Legislature to develop and enact the Charity Registration Act, the basis for a nationwide model. Several years later, it created the Giving USA Foundation, formerly the AAFRC Trust for Philanthropy, providing America with an annual publication reporting philanthropic trends.
