Having the heart to actually help out and give back is a trait, not every celebrity has. Some spend their money on the most expensive cars and properties, although there is nothing wrong with that. It is just that, there are some who choose to help out the entire human race and here are some of them.

1. TAYLOR SWIFT

The 27-year-old singer-songwriter from Nashville, Tennessee have sold millions and millions of albums, sold-out concerts and she has won multiple Grammys, but no matter how busy she is, she still has time to help out to those who are in need, especially the ones who love her.

The Do Something Awards even recognized her philanthropic efforts and with the dedication to helping others and inspiring others through her actions. In 2007, she launched a campaign for the protection of the children from online predators, in partnership with the Tennessee Association of Chiefs of Police. She also donated $100,000 to the Red Cross to help the victims of the Iowa flood in 2008. Swift also performed at a charity concert in Sydney’s Sound Relief and recorded a song alongside other singers for the Hope for Haiti Now Album.

In 2010, she donated half a million dollars for the Tennessee flood incident. And in 2011, she raised over $750,000 when she performed at a benefit concert for the victims of tornadoes all over the United States.
She also pledged $4 Million to fund a building for the new education center at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville. She also visits hospitals to meet with sick children and she encourages young people to volunteer and make a change in every simple way.

But aside from being an actress, she is also busy being the United Nations Women Goodwill Ambassador. In 2014, she delivered an address at UN Headquarters in New York City, to launch the HeForShe campaign. This UN Women campaign is for men to advocate gender equality. She mentioned in her speech that she began questioning gender-based assumptions at age eight when someone called her “bossy” whilst boys were not. Her speech also called feminism “the belief that men and women have equal rights and opportunities.”She also said that the perception of “man-hating” is something that has to stop.

Aside from being an ambassador for women’s rights, she also participates in several charity projects by UNIFEM, Small Steps Project, Shelter Box and Sense.

When she has finished filming, she called the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees or the UNHCR right away to gather information about the problems in the certain areas where there are refugees.
