Through contributions of money and time, many individuals made a variety of philanthropic enterprises possible. Just as often, however, benevolent efforts emerged from and were carried out through networks of individuals and public cooperative groups. The materials in this volume introduce readers to various forms and practices of collaborative philanthropy and royal patronage, such as the Governesses’ Benevolent Institution, the Evangelical Party of the Church of England’s Society for the Relief of Distressed Widows, and the British Red Cross.
