George Clooney is best known for his charming character in movies rather than his commitment to a number of charitable causes. Clooney’s most personal charity work might be Not On Our Watch, which he founded with his Ocean’s 11 co-stars Don Cheadle, Matt Damon, and Brad Pitt, as well as producers Jerry Weintraub and David Pressman.
Their mission is to stop mass atrocities and give a voice to their victims. This charity has raised millions to generate lifesaving humanitarian assistance and protection for the vulnerable, marginalized and displaced. Clooney has been remarkably hands-on with this charity, traveling all the way to Africa to personally visit with the victims of rape, abuse, and torture.
Clooney is involved in many other charities as well, including; ONE Campaign, serving on the Board of Trustees for the United Way, ENOUGH Project, Whatever It Takes, and has even donated a significant amount to the Actors Fund which helped those struggling during the writers’ strike.
