I have been a Trustee of the Ralph C. Wilson Foundation for almost 4 years now. Over that time we have committed to giving away over $500 million dollars in grants in WNY and Detroit area. Mary Wilson has been my inspiration to do "the right thing". The quote below captures my exact feeling about how hard it is to give money away responsibly!
“It’s not hard to give money away. It’s hard to give it away effectively,” Mary Wilson says. To be effective, the foundation is focused on four areas: Promoting active lifestyles, particularly among children and families;Providing career skills and education for young adults and working families to prepare for success;Supporting valuable caregivers;Promoting entrepreneurship and economic development. “He would be thrilled with the way we’re doing it,” Mary Wilson says. This has come along at such an impactful time because this money can impact organizations that are already doing good things.”
