“Nonprofits are the intermediaries between generosity and social change...” — Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen Quote

“Nonprofits are the intermediaries between generosity and social change.”

“Giving is an expression of gratitude for our blessings.”

“Of course, giving is deeply emotional. But supplementing emotion with research makes it more likely that a gift can have a bigger impact. It's like any investment. After all, you wouldn't put funds into stocks or bonds without understanding the potential return. Why wouldn't you do the same when investing in society?”

“I don't think the spirit of Hollywood is such a spirit of generosity. I think people really begrudge giving. In New York, it's like that.”

“If we based everything in Hollywood on who was a nice guy, holy moly, we would have no movies. No actors would work. This is not an industry that is ruled by kindness and generosity.”

“This idea of selfishness as a virtue, as opposed to generosity: That, to me, is unnatural.”
