With a diverse career spanning over six decades, it’s clear that Barbra Streisand is doing something right. However, it isn’t just her natural talent that has won over so many fans. She’s also very vocal (and generous) when it comes to her beliefs. She’s donated buildings to institutions, raised millions of dollars for the Streisand Foundation, as well as personally donated her own money to causes such as voter education, preservation of the environment, nuclear disarmament and more. In 2007 alone, the Streisand Foundation donated over $11 million to various charities including Planned Parenthood and City Year.
