Charitable activitiesMuch of the charitable activities of Al Waleed are in the field of educational initiatives to bridge gaps between Western and Islamic communities. Over the years, he has funded a number of centers of American studies in universities in the Middle East and centers of Islamic studies in Western universities.[[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia itation_needed]citation needed[/url]] [edit]Controversial donation after 9/11Immediately after 9/11 attacks, Al Waleed gave a check of $10 million to N.Y. City Mayor Rudolf Giuliani. Then, he publicized written statement upon his donation, stating “At times like this one, we must address some of the issues that led to such a criminal attack. I believe the government of the United States of America should re-examine its policies in the Middle East and adopt a more balanced stance toward the Palestinian cause.” As a result of his statement, Giuliani returned the check.[11][12] Alwaleed told a Saudi weekly magazine, regarding the rejection of his check by the mayor, as follows: ‘The whole issue is that I spoke about their position [on the Middle East conflict] and they didn’t like it because there are Jewish pressures and they were afraid of them.’[13] [edit]PalestiniansIn 2002, Al-Waleed donated 18.5 million British pounds (US$27 million) to the families of Palestinians during a TV telethon following Israeli operations in the West Bank city ofJenin. The telethon was ordered by Saudi King Fahd to help relatives of Palestinian martyrs. The Saudi government maintained the term "martyrs" referred not to suicide bombers but to " Palestinians [who are] victimized by Israeli terror and violence."[14] [edit]Phillips AcademyIn 2002, Al-Waleed donated $500,000 to help fund the George Herbert Walker Bush Scholarship at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts.[4] [edit]2004 Indian Ocean earthquakeIn 2004, Al Waleed contributed $17 million to victims of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami.[14] [edit]Western UniversitiesIn March 2008, Alwaleed Bin Talal had donated ￡8m to build an Islamic studies centre (to bear his name) at Cambridge University. [15] A few months later, on 8 May 2008, he gave ￡ 16m to Edinburgh University to fund the "centre for the study of Islam in the contemporary world."[16] In April 2009, Al Waleed donated $20 million to Harvard University, one of its 25 largest donations.[17] [18] He also donated the same amount to Georgetown University. [19] His donation and others coming from Islamic sources have not been always welcomed due to their effects on academic objectivity and security concerns.[20]
