Philanthropy

Coming into this course, I had always thought of philanthropy as wealthy individuals giving out their funds to nonprofits that caught their interest. I certainly didn’t realize the great amount of effort and time that is necessary to make philanthropy effective and worthwhile. Achieving lasting and positive change isn’t as easy as having the money to do it, you also need to be willing to think up possible solutions and adjust when they’re not working.

Strategic marketing philanthropy emerged during the 1980s to support organizations in the USA as a method of management and marketing practice to support social responsibilities. Using strategic philanthropy can be used to incorporate organizational and social needs together.

Philanthropy is the desire of people, on their own accord, to promote a charity either by giving their time, money, or talent. Philanthropy fills a big gap that the government either can’t or won’t provide. However, does this necessity come with responsibilities? Is it mandatory for us to be active in philanthropy and if it is, what type of charities is morally acceptable for donors to give money?
