Philanthropy is natural. For a mother, taking care of her children is natural. If I am rich, I take care of the poor, like a mother would.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Philanthropy is my job.
You cannot mandate philanthropy. It has to come from within, and when it does, it is deeply satisfying.
Philanthropy is in the DNA of my family.
Philanthropy and social change work are at their best when they are driven by your values and connected to what you care about most.
Philanthropy is not about giving money but about solving problems. While well-meaning, the idea of writing a check and calling it 'philanthropy' is extremely short-sighted and unfortunately, extremely pervasive.
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.
Charity is just writing checks and not being engaged. Philanthropy, to me, is being engaged, not only with your resources but getting people and yourself really involved and doing things that haven't been done before.
Philanthropy should be voluntary.
The responsibility of philanthropy rests with us. The wealthier we are, the more powerful we get. We cannot put the entire onus on the government.
Philanthropy is the thing that I am really excited about, and having success means I can do more.
