You Can Change the World

Ms. Fulton makes a timely and thoughtful monologue about the changing shape of philanthropy.

In my mind it offers hope and re-frames how I approach giving - personally and professionally. The damaged economy and severe unemployment numbers are unsettling to many of us. However, this time period also provides us a potential clean slate, great learning opportunities, and a chance to explore new ways of sharing and interacting-not just in our backyards but globally.

Each of us have resources, tools, and skills gained from our individual experiences. What amazing changes we could make by collaborating. I think we need to remember that philanthropy is not limited by one's giving capacity; rather from our personal barriers of doubting that our contributions could truly make an impact.

I want to seek out opportunities to connect, not just with my colleagues and contemporaries, also the next generation of philanthropy.

Let me know if you're interested too.
