Morgan Freeman's Charity Work

Morgan Freeman

Charity biography

Freeman hosted an online disaster relief auction to benefit the American Red Cross.

He created a cookbook (with recipe contributions from other celebrities such as Tom Hanks, Hilary Swank and Michael Douglas), ‘Morgan Freeman and Friends: Caribbean Cooking for a Cause.’ Proceeds go to the Grenada Relief Fund, a charity Freeman helped set up after Hurricanes Ivan and Emily ravaged the small Caribbean island in 2004.

Morgan signed a wooden dog bone for an auction benefitting the Mississippi Animal Rescue League.

Freeman also sits on the Board of Directors for Earth Biofuels, a company whose mission is to promote the use of clean-burning fuels in America.

“I firmly believe that alternative fuel supplies need to be developed to allow the US to wean itself off its significant dependence on foreign oil. Moreover, I feel that our development of alternative sources such as biodiesel fuel will help the environment, farmers, and the economy in general.”

He joins Julia Roberts and Willie Nelson as a spokesperson for the organization.
