In "Worth" magazine (p. 24, May 07), read the following (good stuff):
Ted Leonsis, vice chairman of AOL, is credited with coining the term filmanthropy to describe the trend of investing in socially motivated films. A longtime fan of nontraditional charity work, Leonsis delved into filmanthropy with his production debut, Nanking, which premiered in January to favorable reviews at the Sundance Film Festival...
Leonsis plan to maximize his investment in Nanking by contributing all the profits to related charities and donating an additional 800 hours of survivor testimony to a historical foundation at Georgetown University. (emphasis added)
