Philanthropy Is Contained In Square Box Directed By Peter Singer

In my opinion effective philanthropy is not a linear concept, it’s much like an interwoven design with many complexities. Yet I can say every philanthropic approach differs with the need they are trying to meet. As mentioned by Sean stannnard-Stockton effective philanthropy is a mixture of strategic philanthropy, charitable giving, and philanthropic investments where their qualitative characteristics works well together.Still it’s apparent that effective philanthropy cannot be contained in square box directed by social views.
