Washington is home to some of the nation's top philanthropists, but it is Atlanta resident
Frank Hanna, chief executive officer of Hanna Capital LLC, who just earned the 2007
William E. Simon Prize for Philanthropic Leadership, recognizing America's most
effective living philanthropists.
Not that Washingtonians will be left out of the prize.
We're told that Mr. Hanna will divide his $250,000 cash award between a Catholic school
in Atlanta and the nonprofit Federalist Society, based in Washington and specializing in
constitutional and legal issues.
Named for the late U.S. Treasury secretary, the Simon prize will be presented Friday at
the annual meeting of the Philanthropy Roundtable, a Washington-based national
association of philanthropic families and foundations.
