Oprah Winfrey
To almost everyone the name Oprah Winfrey should be synonymous with the word ‘charity’. Not only has she generated a huge amount of attention on many types of important issues through her TV show, she has shown exceptional consistency when it comes to giving to those in need. She has done impressive charity work regarding humanitarian issues, civil equality, disaster relief, and research for diseases. She also focuses on child abuse, rape prevention, education, the environment and too many other charities to name. She has founded three different organizations –The Angel Network, The Oprah Winfrey Foundation, and The Oprah Winfrey Operating Foundation – and donates 100% of the proceeds from each of her charities.
In one amazing gesture, she once gave out $1000 debit cards to over 300 members of her audience and asked them to donate to the charity of their choice.
