Annenberg Foundation

The Annenberg Foundation is like a really big piggy bank that was started a long time ago by a man named Walter Annenberg and his wife, Leonore. They were very rich and wanted to use their money to help make the world a better place. So they put a lot of their money into the piggy bank and made a big foundation (a group of people who work together to do good things with money) to help give that money away.

The Annenberg Foundation gives money to lots of different groups and organizations that do good things like help children learn in school, protect the environment, and make sure people have access to the arts (like music and theater). They also help to make sure that people have access to things like healthcare and food.

Now, even though Mr. and Mrs. Annenberg are not alive anymore, their piggy bank is still around and people are adding money to it all the time. The people who work for the Annenberg Foundation still use the money in the piggy bank to help make the world a better place.
