What comes to mind when you hear the word philanthropy? For many, it’s still an exclusive club for the wealthy and powerful — billionaires making headlines with large donations and celebrity fundraisers. But what if philanthropy was actually much closer to home — and within everyone’s reach?

This is the powerful message behind Philanthropy Understood, a digital presentation inspired by Bob Hopkins’ mission to transform the way we see giving.

✅ Simple ways to get involved — no big bank account required
✅ How to inspire a culture of giving in schools, workplaces, and communities

This presentation has been used by educators, community leaders, nonprofits, and corporate teams to spark meaningful conversations about how everyone can be a philanthropist.
