Making a Difference: Effective Philanthropy and Social Engagement
“‘What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.”
– Pericles
Philanthropy can be the glue that binds an extended family together, and a cornerstone of a family’s multi-generational legacy
Modern families have changed their approach to philanthropic and societal initiatives. The historical approach of passive “checkbook philanthropy” and bequeathing assets is being replaced by an active, engaged and diverse method of “giving while living”.
Modern philanthropy offers a wide range of opportunities for families to fund activities and actively engage in initiatives. Philanthropic families can make an impact on the world through the causes they support.
