Financing the future: the role of philanthropy : columnists : Estes Park Trail-Gazette: "ESTES PARK, Colo. — “The great use of a life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.”- William James

Philanthropy is defined as “the effort to advance human well-being, as through charitable gifts or endowments.” The dictionary, however, does not define a mistaken notion many people have about philanthropy: a pursuit undertaken only by the very wealthy."
