INSPIRATION FROMTIMETOTIME
• Which is why I found it important to spotlight a few amazing
foundations in order to ignite something inside of other
philanthropists and foundations whose goal is to change the world
for the better
• As philanthropists and non-profit organizations, we all have the
same goal: to make a positive impact
• Sometimes we need a little help getting there, and modeling the
different elements of philanthropic after foundations who did it
right will only help to reach your goal of making a difference
