How does philanthropy help the economy?
Q. I know that charity is socially good, but how is it economically good (and is it)? I'm just interested in other people's opinions.
Asked by eckoin - Sat Mar 7 12:04:08 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The main purpose of philanthropy is to help people. And if it helps the economy at the same time, then so be it. For this reason not all philanthropy helps the economy equally well. A good example of philanthropy that helps the economy is education prizes and grants from private individuals or companies for gifted students. Another type of philanthropy that might not help the economy as much are religious donations for missionary work to convert people from one religion to another.

Q. Any recomendations for incorporating fashion with philanthropy?
Asked by tomsshoes.houseparty - Thu Jun 14 14:04:44 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. well maybe you could find a sponsor and do a fashion shows for less fortunate teenagers where they actually get to be in the show and then they can keep the clothes. Or make a program where you can help kids/teens/adults sketch designs and then help them to actually make them with sewing and stuff? then they can put on a fashion show and either get people they know to be models to show off ther designs. I dunno if any of those ideas are good or do-able, but thats what first came to mind.
