(BPT) - In the past, giving money to a charity was considered one of the best ways to do a good deed. But thanks to modern technology, the face of philanthropy is changing as people around the world become more connected.
Lending a helping hand to people has always been an inherently good thing. But new perspectives have emerged about how philanthropy really affects those it’s meant to help. As a result of these new perspectives, the ways in which people on both ends of the equation relate to and understand each other have evolved. Philanthropy 2.0 is about making real connections, furthering understanding and building a better future with people whose faces are visible, names are knowable, and achievements can be shared.
