36 year old Marc Andreessen, the founder of Netscape, gave $27.5 million to Stanford University Hospital. Wow! Here’s Marc talking about the gift on his blog.
Mrs. Thatcher used to say, “No one would remember the Good Samaritan if all he had were good intentions. He had good intentions and money.” (If you haven’t this story in a while, you can read it here.)
Even if you can’t give $27.5 million, I’m sure you can make some room in your business budget to support a cause that’s meaningful to you. It’s a powerful way to influence the world around you in a positive direction.
