Shouldn't you put the same amount of effort into your giving as you might for your for-profit investments? After all, philanthropy is an investment, and one in which lives - not profits - are at stake.

It's nice to invest yourself fully in whatever you're doing... I think it's best to try and give everything you've got; otherwise, what's the point?

Giving is better than receiving because giving starts the receiving process.

Of course, giving is deeply emotional. But supplementing emotion with research makes it more likely that a gift can have a bigger impact. It's like any investment. After all, you wouldn't put funds into stocks or bonds without understanding the potential return. Why wouldn't you do the same when investing in society?

You get what you give. What you put into things is what you get out of them.

I've come to learn that my initial investment is more about the person versus the product that I am buying into. I've also learned that I really do enjoy giving worthy people an opportunity of a lifetime.

In any investment, you expect to have fun and make money.

Giving is just one way of expressing that God has been good to you and will continue to do so through your being good to others.

Investing is for wealth preservation, not wealth creation, so first you have to make wealth.
