In partnership with the Scottish Parliament, the Carnegie Trusts of the UK worked together on a programme of events, exhibitions, seminars and activities which took place at Holyrood from October 2013 to January 2014.
These activities showcased the intellectual and social impact of work made possible by Scots-American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie’s endowments and provided an opportunity to discuss the emerging challenges of the 21st century and the role of philanthropy.
The programme of events was a celebration of the huge impact made by Carnegie and the global network of charitable organisations he endowed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
