Clearly, in Gaudiani's own dollar sign-admiring view, the Paris Hiltons; Donald Trumps, and (even in death) the resort-hopping; trust fund baby-popping Anna Nicole Smiths of the world, along with other wealthy if more low-key types, are the real coveted readers. One easily senses this author's embedded, perhaps even automatic and instinctive, implicit buttering-up of the rich within her litany of praise, to the rest of us, of all their many past philanthropic good deeds.
A better article; however, and one more objective and that contains (albeit not entirely) various opposing viewpoints to Gaudiani's on philanthropy and the real motivations of the rich for practicing it yesterday and today, is written by an also more credible author with no past professional baggage, Susan Berresford of the Ford Foundation. Berresford's article "Philanthropy of the 21st Century" is both more realistic about how and why, and in what kinds of circumstances and situations…...

Corporate Governance: Philanthropy and Social esponsibility
Corporate philanthropy is a form of CS where a corporation extends monetary or non-monetary support to the community for the sake of improving its welfare and the quality of life. Despite its inherent benefits, corporate philanthropy still remains a subject of debate. This text examines the arguments presented by both sides, and examines how Wal-Mart's philanthropic program has been able to reconcile both views, and how the corporation has managed to maintain an effective giving program over the years.
Philanthropy and Social esponsibility
The role played by corporate giving and corporate philanthropy in society today is immense; but even so, the whole idea of corporate philanthropy still remains a subject of debate. Consensus is yet to be reached, particularly in regard to whether companies should engage more or less in charity programs. Proponents of organizational philanthropy hold that corporations should engage more in charity giving because it…...

In this sense, a contract reduces the doctor-patient relationship to a mechanical set of actions, which is also not acceptable in the profession.
Nonetheless, much more than the code and philanthropy concepts, the contract elevates the patient to the level of the doctor in terms of mutual need and reciprocity. In the doctor-patient contract, the doctor and patient need each other mutually, and enter into a relationship of exchange. It also enforces accountability, by means of which the patient has legal recourse should something go wrong.
In his conclusion, May suggests that a covenantal relationship that extends not only to the guild, but also to the public, might provide the remedy for the problem of minimilization. He explicates this by means of a comparison between the concepts of the contract and the covenant. The main difference is that the contract is based upon time limitations, while the covenant focuses on building…...
Nonprofit Business: Sustainability and VolunteersIntroductionOver the last few years, there has been an observed decline in not only the amounts contributed towards charitable causes, but also the number of persons willing to serve as volunteers. There are a number of reasons for the said decline some of which will be highlighted in this text. To a large extent, this paper concerns itself with philanthropic instruction in academic settings, specifically at the university level. In so doing, it will not only assess the relevance of such instruction, but also how it could be incorporated into the curriculum. It will also suggest an innovative pedagogy for deployment in institutions of higher learning.DiscussionDefinitionFrom the onset, it would be prudent to note that philanthropy does not have an exact definition. This is especially the case owing to the fact that in the past, multiple authors have floated a wide range of definitions in…...

Often communities consider being generous as a typical behavior. This has a wide-ranging implication as being free to lend a hand has its own effects on the individuals. The authoritative power that benefactors exercise when deciding which contributions to make can have a substantial change in the community. Choosing to contribute to charities involving parishes, tertiary institutions or distant charities can also have personal reflective effects such as elementary learning or health care amenities for the aged population. Such deliberations are more magnified in situations which entail shortage of funding for basic commodities from the state (Cordelli, 2016). This notion on choosing to act based on one’s judgement is powerful enough to influence costly public frameworks. A case in point is in the United States where there is a provision for excise duty to cover the charities. This is done to subject the benefactors with an extensive range of subjective authorities…...

One of the key Robin-hood rules, when it comes to philanthropy, is Relentless Monetization. Relentless Monetization or “RM” concentrates on mutual expressions for inner deliberations, interaction with grantees, openness, examination, position grants or loans, and calculating the overall performance of the financier (as well as the grant) (Weinstein & Bradburd, 2013). Disclosing grant-making to the rigor of RM alters the type of grant-making considerations. Instead of loosely discussing inspiring professional company directors or innovative quests, employees depend on a mutual language that focuses on results-oriented facts. Furthermore, RM enables funders to create the sets of rules it utilizes to designate objective-appropriate valuation to interventions designed for outside examination.

Philanthropy has been viewed as an ethical behavior stemming from moral virtue or moral duty. When philanthropic actions are conducted in exchange for what could be construed as personal gain, then what would be a moral act becomes a transactional or even selfish one. Donating money in exchange for some other gift, service, or benefit is not the same as selflessly bequeathing the same. “Pure philanthropy...is a transfer rather than a transaction in the sense that nothing is received in return,” (Keating, Pitts & Appel, 1981, p. 816). However, it may be unrealistic to expect that all philanthropic behavior stem from a sense of moral duty. The concept of a “pure” philanthropy in which efforts are transferred would also preclude any donation that was not anonymous, because of the way public recognition can be leveraged for personal or organizational gain. In fact, the motivation for transfer and transactional philanthropy is different…...

Strategic philanthropy is a practice of companies where they target philanthropic and charitable activates around a cause that will support their business objectives. Companies use philanthropy as a way of benefiting their business interests and the interests of the beneficiary organization. According to Thorne, McAlister, Ferrell, and Ferrell (2010)
strategic philanthropy is designed around creative planning, careful execution, focused research, and thorough follow-up, which is intended to achieve the desired results. Strategic philanthropy should be driven by the company's core concerns and values for it to be effective and rewarding. Strategic philanthropy mainly focuses on builds and changes for the future Carroll & Buchholtz, 2009()

Corporate Social esponsibility
Today's society is very much a corporate society where power is centered at many of corporate centers. Corporations are seen more than just tools and methods of living, but rather this way of life dictates the lives of millions as this system provides jobs and employment as an outlet of societal contribution. As a result of the deep and profound impact on society, many wonder what is the long-term effects of a corporate society and what benefits, if any, are available?
This line of questioning eventually leads to the idea of corporate social responsibility and the ethical and moral approach of the corporation within the human culture. The purpose of this essay is to describe the idea of corporate responsibility and examine it through the use of corporate philanthropy as a useful and practical method of success and benefit. The profitability, both long-term and short-term, will be discussed as…...

Studies have shown time and again that the earlier children are introduced to meaningful learning environments, the better they tend to perform academically in later years. The research to date also suggests that because philanthropic resources are scarce, it is important to use these funding resources to their maximum advantage in delivering the wide range of social and educational services needed by many inner-city and lower socioeconomic populations today. Therefore, by identifying and comparing the types and quality of services provided by such organizations represents a timely and valuable enterprise. To this end, this paper provides an examination of the…...

Unethical 'Best Practices'
Corporate Governance Case Study: Enron
Enron, the seventh-largest American corporation, collapsed in December 2001 in what most people refer to as the 'New Economy's first major failure'. Following its collapse, Congressional committees immediately embarked on inquiries to determine the cause(s) of its bankruptcy. Once investigations were complete, it was evident that the corporate governance mechanisms employed by the company had contributed to its downfall. The company employed the Anglo-American model of corporate governance, which places substantial emphasis on shareholder rights as opposed to stakeholder rights, and which, in addition, is management-dominated and has a unitary board structure with a single powerful leader. Driven by an urge to keep shareholders appeased by paying them more even when the company's resources were strained, Enron's managers employed off-balance sheet transactions with SPEs, and were able to hide huge amounts of debt that was often collaterized with the company's stock. The CFO, Andrew…...

Moral Medicine, and a Doctor's Duty to the World
The 18th chapter of On Moral Medicine talks about the way medical professionals build their identity as practitioners and how the form relationships with other professionals and with patients. The author uses four unique terms to define his ideas on the four things these relationships can be based on: covenant, contract, code, and philanthropy. Using these concepts, he explores the current and the ideal relationships which define the medical field and experience. In the end, the author finishes by suggesting a change in the way doctor-patient relationships are conceived, but from the evidence of his own work one can see that he may not push this revolution far enough.
The idea of a covenant in this context is the idea of a deep commitment that transforms those who make it. Covenants are usually made through the exchange of gifts and responsibilities, and…...

Defining Success: A Personal and Multifaceted Pursuit
Success is a subjective and multifaceted concept that varies greatly depending on individual values, aspirations, and life circumstances. For some, it may be measured by financial wealth or professional achievements; for others, it may be rooted in personal fulfillment, meaningful relationships, or a sense of purpose. While there is no single, definitive definition of success, exploring different perspectives can help us gain a deeper understanding of this complex and elusive aspiration.
