Why Philanthropy?

Much has been, and will be, written on the subject of philanthropy as America enters its second "Golden Age" of philanthropic endeavors. From Carnegie to Gates, this portal will become a beacon for ideas on America's most powerful vehicle for cultural change.

What philanthropists of our time are embarking on now is the chance to reshape, re-engineer, and re-invigor a nation's educational, political, moral, and commercial compass.
