Fourteen more individuals and families have promised to give at least half of their wealth to charity, the Giving Pledge organization announced today.
The roster of new signers includes four U.S. couples and three individual Americans, among them Texas financier Robert Smith, the country’s richest black man.
The private-equity billionaire landed the No. 35 spot on The Chronicle’s annual Philanthropy 50 list for 2016, donating more than $42 million to charity. His chief cause has been advancing educational opportunities in science and technology, particularly for African-Americans.
