In these tough economic times, one of the first things to go is our charitable giving. According to philanthropist Frank Hanna, this may be to our detriment. He asserts that it is in our nature to give and that when we give, good things come back to us.
Frank Hanna‘s Catholic faith is the basis for this belief; however, almost all faiths share this same principle. It is something that most successful businessmen learn early. Donald Trump, in fact, gives a large portion of his income to various charities every year, sometimes in secret. Actor Will Smith reportedly gave $1.3 million dollars to charities last year.
Is it that they can give large amounts because of their success? Or are they successful because of their giving? Frank Hanna would answer the latter.
