The Last Laugh: Comedy Stars Who Use Their Power For Good

Alec Baldwin - Alec Baldwin Foundation

Alec Baldwin is everywhere - from the silver screen to Jack Donaghy's office, from the NYC and Hamptons art scenes to his Twitter account (or should we say the Alec Baldwin Foundation's Twitter account that just happens to have a wedding picture for its profile shot and sends out personal tweets... hey, we're not complaining).  But he's also a major actor behind the scenes, donating significant time and money to a number of causes, most notably New York art institutions. This summer, Baldwin donated $1 million to the New York Philharmonic (he's also a board member and host of the Philharmonic's radio show).  Other recent philanthropic ventures included his commercial deal with Capital One: Baldwin donated all proceeds from the partnership to charity, including $250,000 to East Hampton's Guild Hall.  Other causes include The Public Theater, The Hamptons International Film Festival, and Coalition for the Homeless.
