People from all backgrounds played an important role in providing relief to Europe, the Middle East and beyond, influencing both people and policy. The Rise of Giving: American Philanthropy and WWI explores this philanthropic movement, sharing the stories of the Americans and the organizations that played a key role in reshaping the world in the wake of war. The Rise of Giving: American Philanthropy and WWI is a digital exhibition from the National WWI Museum and Memorial that explores American Philanthropy during and after WWI, when people of all backgrounds played an important role in providing relief to Europe and beyond.-- Explore Exhibition The Volunteers The Volunteers: Americans Join World War I examines the stories of the young men and women who transformed the meaning of volunteerism.
