Philanthropy Spans Generations

Looking at how others have approached, or are currently approaching, their philanthropy can help you think about how you can make a difference. From Andrew Carnegie we learn: “It is more difficult to give money away intelligently than it is to earn it in the first place.” And as aptly stated by a relative newcomer to philanthropy, Pierre Omidyar, founder and chairman of eBay, giving away money is "a learning process…there [are] too many good causes, how do you do it well?”

PhilanthropicSolutions will work with you to understand the impact your philanthropy can have and, ultimately, the legacy you can leave. We do the hard part for you, while helping you think about where and how to target your giving.

As you browse through this section you will learn what some of the great philanthropists, past and present, have done and you can think about what you can do and what your legacy will be.
