PHILANTHROPY
Quotes
|
Every
dollar that philanthropists and individuals give to
organizations that are helping transform society's
attitude about 'creating a better world', actually
helps millions of individual causes as well. Popularizing
a wish for a better world is the ONLY WAY that we
can truly transform society, because only then can
we address the root causes that perpetuate the current
broken system.
-- Robert Alan Silverstein

Philanthropy
is commendable, but it must not cause the philanthropist
to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice
which make philanthropy necessary. --

Philanthropy
is involved with basic innovations that transform society,

-- David Rockefeller

“Philanthropy
is all about making a positive difference in the world
by devoting your resources and your time to causes
you believe in. In my case, I like to support causes
where “a lot of good comes from a little bit of good,”
or, in other words, where the positive social returns
vastly exceed the amount of time and money invested.”
-- Jeffrey

“I
don’t think you ever stop giving. I really don’t.
I think it’s an on-going process.
And it’s not just about being able to write a check.
It’s being able to touch somebody’s life.”
--
Oprah
Winfrey
