Against Philanthropy
The central argument of this article is philanthropy and the act of giving money to an organization. They talk about how these big corporations give donations to organizations and they receive tax write offs in return. The example they use is about big businesses and factories are putting pollutants into the environment and they support and donate to organizations that fight pollution. Then the organizations start to support the company that is polluting the environment. At the Boys and Girls Club they receive donations from different companies and donors. They use that money and they put it into things like programing and facility management. The BGC provides helpful and learning programs to the kids and a big part of that is because they receive these donations.The authors of this article think they should get rid of donating money and just stick to making money. I think there is a lot of nonprofit organizations out there that need the donations and run on donations. The work the organizations do are good work and should continue.
