Why Philanthropy is Not About Money by Wesley Oler IV | Nov 8, 2021 | Blog, Community Leadership, Wesley Oler IV
When most people think of philanthropy, they think about giving money to charity. However, it is more than that. Philanthropy is about donating time and skills to help others in need. It has nothing to do with how much money you have or don’t have; there are many ways for everyone to give back.
What is Philanthropy? Philanthropy, simply defined, is the practice of giving money to support good causes. What’s not so simple is that people who call themselves philanthropists sometimes use their donations for selfish or even illegal reasons.
Why is Philanthropy not about money? Donating to a specific cause you care about can help ensure your funds go towards helping others and making this world a better place. Philanthropy is a beautiful thing, but it shouldn’t stop with just donating money to charities and non-profits – you can also give your time or expertise! https://wesleyoleriv.net/why-philanthropy-is-not-about-money/
