Keanu Reeves operates a private foundation dedicated to supporting cancer research and children’s hospitals. His approach to philanthropy is marked by modesty, as he prefers not to publicize his involvement, stating, “I don’t like to attach my name to it. I just let the foundation do what it does.”

He also often gives gifts to the filming crews he works with. He gave the whole stunt team of The Matrix movies Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
