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

Philanthropy
is involved with basic innovations that transform society,
not simply maintaining the status quo or filling basic
social needs that were formerly the province of the
public sector.
-- David Rockefeller

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 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 Skoll

“Philanthropy
is almost the only virtue
which is sufficiently appreciated by mankind.”
-- Henry David
Thoreau

“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
