Wealthy urged to follow Lord Sainsbury's philanthropic lead | Politics | The Guardian

Wealthy urged to follow Lord Sainsbury's philanthropic lead | Politics | The Guardian: "The culture secretary called for Britain's rich to dig deeper to fund cultural institutions on Sunday after the Tory peer Lord Sainsbury made a �25m donation to the British Museum for a new wing, outstripping the government's contribution.

Sainsbury's donation emerged to the delight of museum officials who are waiting to hear about the impact of funding cuts, and is the largest from a living donor since Sir Paul Getty gave �50m to the National Gallery in 1985."
