“There are these Kiva loans and there are these

social businesses and there are these double-

bottom line, triple bottom-line investments.

There are a million different ways to

be philanthropic in 2012 that there

weren’t in 1985.”

“Give us a clear call to action, let’s problem-solve together. Tell us what you

are working on and let’s work on this together.”

“My family has taught me almost

everything I know about giving and

how to give.”


In 2010, Millenials volunteered 1.1 billion hours of

volunteer service
