We believe that with great power and influence comes a great responsibility to give back. Following this belief, Philanthropic People seeks to highlight the people and organizations that are giving back in order to better our world. We provide opportunities for you to volunteer and give back as well in our Resources section, and we keep tabs on the latest news in philanthropy.
Our site is still growing, but we are committed to the belief that, as Anthony Robbins once said, “Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.”
