Richard is a recognized elder and thought leader in the philanthropy sector. He has written columns about philanthropy and a book named “Saying ‘Yes’ Wisely: Insights for the Thoughtful Philanthropist.” Not only that, but he is also a popular lecturer and has spoken all throughout the world. Today, let’s discover how you can become a philanthropist by doing the little things.
