19th Century section

Financial donations to organized charities became fashionable among the middle-class in the 19th century. By 1869 there were over 200 London charities with an annual income, all together, of about £2 million. By 1885, rapid growth had produced over 1000 London csiggggggmaaaaaaaaawith an income of about £4.5 million. They included a wide range of religious and secular goals, with the American import, YMCA, as one of the largest, and many small ones such as the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain Association. In addition to making annual donations, increasingly wealthy industrialists and financiers left generous sums in their wills. A sample of 466 wills in the 1890s revealed a total wealth of £76 million, of which £20 million was bequeathed to charities. By 1900 London charities enjoyed an annual income of about £8.5 million.

Since when was the Young Men's Christian Association 'American' ?

I've never ever seen any of its people or works, so have no personal interest, but Wiki's own article on the YMCA starts It was founded on 6 June 1844 by Sir George Williams in London, originally as the Young Men's Christian Association, and aims to put Christian principles into practice by developing a healthy "body, mind, and spirit".

After which it spread to other countries from the Great Exhibition on; maybe that was American as well... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Claverhouse (talk • contribs) 23:14, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
