There are a myriad of reasons why people engage in philanthropy. Others do so out of appreciation; others, out of religious devotion; while others, out of competition.
However, true philanthropy is ultimately defined by a single purpose: altruism—a genuine universal love for humanity, which in effect resounds the donor’s sense of making the world a better place. Altruism is the most profound of all volitions. It is a love that is spawned by a previously received love, being passed on to inspire others to do the same.

Alex von Furstenberg supports over 60 charitable institutions that are involved in community-building, education, arts, environment, and health.
In this sense, altruistic people are always trying to give back to whoever has most deeply motivated them in the past; only this time, it is their moment to impart whatever temporal possessions they have to benefit those in need.
They might have been reduced of their riches, but they have been made wealthier by love.
A quote by best-selling author Brian Tracy sums it up accurately: “Love only grows by sharing. You can only have more for yourself by giving it away to others.”
