Philanthropy without scale and sustainability is like any other bad business that will simply wither and die on the vine.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Philanthropy should be taking much bigger risks that business. If these are easy problems, business and government can come in and solve them.
Sustainability can't be like some sort of a moral sacrifice or political dilemma or a philanthropical cause. It has to be a design challenge.
Much corporate giving is charitable in nature rather than philanthropic.
Philanthropy is commendable, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philanthropy necessary.
Sustainability is no longer about doing less harm. It's about doing more good.
Large-scale philanthropy, based in the private - not the public - sector, is a relatively recent historical development.
Philanthropy should be voluntary.
You cannot mandate philanthropy. It has to come from within, and when it does, it is deeply satisfying.
At the end of the day, philanthropy can only ever be an adjunct to what governments provide. And government coffers need to be replenished.
Since most corporate competitors have the same problems with sustainability and social reputation, it's worth trying to solve them together.
