O
ver the years,
Foundation Source has
had the good fortune
to work with a number
of extraordinarily passionate,
transformative philanthropists.
Many of them discovered their
interest in philanthropy only
after they'd retired from their
professional careers. After
completing their estate plan,
providing for their kids, taking all
the trips that they'd dreamt about,
and buying all the usual toys, they
discovered the one thing that was
left to want: to be remembered for
something beyond their business
acumen or financial success.
After Retirement, Immortality
As we grow older, we reflect on
how we want to be remembered.
What aspects of our lives do we
want to endure beyond our own
lifetime? How do we know that
our lives truly mattered? Very few
people have the opportunity or
financial wherewithal to create
their own legacies. Bill Gates, who
has both, might be remembered a
few years from now not only as the
software pioneer, but also as the
man who eliminated malaria.
