I started finding out about John D. Rockefeller and his philanthropy on http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USArockefeller.htm. It said that he became a very unpopular rich figure at one point in time. He was a devout Baptist and realized that he needed to start giving money to get people to like him. He funded the campaign involved with prohibition. He started a foundation to promote the well-being of mankind.Later on he gave away 500 million dollars to Baptist funds, university's, and to medical research. After he started give money away he became a well liked person.
