Philanthropy At Its Best

Posted on Saturday, January 9, 2010 in Favorites

Philanthropists are hard to find in modern day society where most of the people are just concerned about profits. It is a very sad sign that even education is commercialised today. Too much commercialisation has resulted in pushing the backward classes further down. It is very well known that this is not good for society to push any section to the wall. Here it is worth mentioning Alexander von Furstenber a well known philanthropist has done a lot for the needy. He is hold positions of co- managing member and chief investment officer of reputed Arrow Capital management LLC .

Arrow capital management is concerned with Global public equities. Diller –Von Furstenberg family has spent more than 30 million $ in grants for various up development programmes like education disease research and child care. Alexander von Furstenber also is a strong supporter of human rights. He is the chief investment officer of arrow investments that serves Diller von-Furstenberg family. It is quite bad that there are very few real philanthropists though there are many who act as philanthropists. Alexander von Furstenber is a role model for the modern day youth, it would be great for the country if youth follow his footsteps.
