PHILANTHROPISTS (Continued from Page 23) effort it takes to insure that it is used for worthwhile purposes. In many cases, philanthropists don't rely only on the staff to look at projects, but also go out into the field themselves. Sarah Appleby, a trustee of the Appleby Foundation and the Appleby Trust, tries personally to visit all the sponsored programs. Until her recent retirement, Claudia Marsh was for 30 years the head of the Public Welfare Foundation, established by her husband, newspaper publisher Charles Marsh. The anonymity which Claudia Marsh pursues is so strong that she and her late husband refused to have the foundation named after them. "Public Welfare Foundation" was chosen to emphasize the philosophy of the donor - the greatest good for the greatest number. One grant recipient, however, a missionary in Haiti, ignored Claudia Marsh's reluctance for personal glory and named a four-wheel jeep in her honor. It is not unusual for philanthropists to report only the necessary disclosure information (which is available to the public) and otherwise keep a very low Profile. One example is the Mars family and its foundation. Responding to an interview request, William C. Turnbull replied that "the parties that be tend to keep this very quiet because it is a Private foundation and they are not anxious for any publicity." hilanthropists have established foundations in all sizes. In our city, Caflitz is the largest, with assets of $48 million, followed by Public Welfare Foundation With assets of $42 million, 132 foundations showing assets of less than $1 million and an additional 138 foundations with assets of under $100,000. Although the pattern of a foundation's giving usually reflects philan~hropists' personal interests, overall givIng in the nation's capital is the same as the national pattern, with education the field that gets the most money. The !lender Foundation, for example, was ''the main contributor to the new library at American University," Boward Bender confirms. The Kiplinger Foundation also supPorts education and has a grantlll.atching program for employees.
