Passionate philanthropist

So I came to them only a few years ago, just before COVID because I realized that I wasn't volunteering anywhere. I wasn't putting my energies into helping an organization be better. And I was missing that just that altruistic part of ourselves that I need to provide for someone else with talents that I probably wasn't using for any reason because of sitting on social media or what have you

Hey, Al. I just wanted to acknowledge your post and just say how beautiful it is that you went towards what you were drawn to. Like, you went for it and you became a volunteer, and then you kind of moved the organization, and now you are a passionate, as you say, passionate philanthropist. I didn't even realize that was the title of your swell. But organizations like that need organic evangelists, people that really understand that

@DBPardes thank you!

Because I don't know about you, but when I was younger, I feel like there were quite a few arts organizations, probably more. I'm not even sure how they were funded, to be honest, because the grants that are out now just didn't exist back then, I guess private donors and families and friends and themselves, those who are running the organizations
