3. Tips to taking action / recommendations / quotes

Five common habits of effective philantrophists, following the Forbes article that can be found in the
following link:

1. A great understanding of the community in which te company is interested at is necessary to practice
the philantrophy in an effective way.
2. Innovation is a key factor too, as creating new forms of practicing philantrophi will lead to the success.
This is a whole process of learning and translating the kowledge in new forms of creating alternative and
updated frosm of doing the same things but in a more efficient way.
3. Listening the needs of a community will assure that the philantrophy efforts are directed towards what
they should be focused at. Sometimes, in act of good faith, individuals invest in communities taking for
granted what they need, instead listening them and asking for opinion beforehand.
4. Long-term thinking will be better than short term. Trying to solve a problem in the shot term willnot
assure that it won’t appear after some time. The long term strategies will improve the procedures and
although sometimes seem not no be as effective as expected, the results will be long-lasting.
5. The form in which the monetary donations are performed also makes a great difference for
a community. It should be taken into account that sometimes, a great amount of money can make a great
difference for a group of people, but in other situations, maybe a restricted fund works better. The specific
situation will hold thekey to be able to decide which is the form that fits better the relaity of the
community.
