David Geffen is the king of Hollywood philanthropy. The entertainment
czar's foundation made 158 donations, totaling nearly $5 million
during 1997. IRS records show that, from 1992-1997, the David Geffen
Foundation has donated more than $21 million. During 1997, Geffen
deposited $3.5 million into his foundation, which made large
contributions to an assortment of AIDS-related charities and groups
like the UCLA Foundation and Steven Spielberg's Survivors of the Shoah
Visual History Foundation. Since Geffen's contribution list runs 18
pages, we're only reproducing some representative pages. In fact, the
foundation is so active that Geffen pays one Andy Spahn $118,873 a
year (for 20-hour work weeks) to run the organization. (5 pages)
