Inspiring Others to Do the Most Good
Capturing Giving Stories is one of our favorite parts of the work we do at Return on Good. And one of our favorite ways to do that is through our I Am a Philanthropist™ initiative.
When you’re looking for good in the world, you inevitably meet those who are doing good in the world. That’s what happens to the Return on Good team—all of the time.
We met Regina Fleming, a photographer who runs for charities, on a train. We met Clarence Wooten, an entrepreneur who helps marginalized communities, at a conference. At that same conference, we met Gene Thomas, who started a nonprofit aimed at transforming the health of Mississippi citizens.
Within minutes of hearing their giving stories, we knew we wanted to share them through our I Am a Philanthropist initiative. By shining a bright light on these philanthropists, we hope to inspire others to do more good in the world.
Do you have a philanthropic story to tell? Do you want to recognize a colleague or community member for giving of their time, treasure and/or talent? Please tell us more.
