Scenario

When business partners have conflicting definitions of effective philanthropy

My business partner wants us to give to their alma mater because it 'invests in future leaders' while I want to fund direct poverty interventions with measurable outcomes, and we're both getting defensive about our choices and can't seem to have a productive conversation about what actually constitutes effective philanthropy.

More people experience this than they realize.
