2013's Biggest Gifts Signal Rebound

Big gifts made a comeback in 2013, with America’s wealthiest philanthropists donating a total of more than $3.4 billion to charity, according to a new tally by The Chronicle of Philanthropy.

The largest donation came from Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan. The couple announced in December that they had provided 18 million shares of Facebook stock, valued at more than $990 million, to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
