Barbra Streisand donated nearly $16 million from her 2007 concert tour to education, the environment, women’s health, and other civic concerns.
She raises awareness of global warming, gun control, and spoke up against the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Her Streisand Foundation has given millions of dollars through 2,100 grants to nonprofit organizations and she has raised many millions more through her performances.
Streisand supports an impressive range of causes from AIDS organizations to nonprofits that work on issues of women’s equality, the protection of both human rights and civil rights, the needs of children at risk in society, the preservation of the environment, Jewish/Arab relations, and relations between African-Americans and Jews.
