The Power of Philanthropy
Philanthropic advisor Natalie Kargill argues that if the global top 1% of earners gave away just 10% of their income or if the wealthy contributed 2.5% of their net worth, we could address some of the world's most daunting problems. The transformative potential of philanthropy lies in its ability to fill gaps where governments and markets fall short. Kargill highlights the success of the Green Revolution, made possible by philanthropic funding and government support, which led to significant improvements in crop yields and alleviated global hunger.
