The outcome of these combinations is not simply linear, they are exponential.

The journey of philanthropy is a continuum. When viewed up close, your day-to-day giving might not feel very substantial. Take a step back, however, and you will see that the philanthropist you become in the future is largely dependent on where you choose to spend your time, money, and influence today. In this week’s episode, decide the philanthropist you want to become with help from the phases of the personal philanthropy framework.
