     In Katherine Fulton’s Talk: You are the future of philanthropy, Fulton does an excellent job of explaining philanthropy clearly, while inspiring viewers to get involved and make a difference in a way that matters to them. Fulton clears up confusions that philanthropy only means giving money; she explains, more importantly, it's about giving time and talents too. These are things we all have and can give to the charities, organizations, and social movements we are most interested in. 
     Fulton gives lots of examples of charities and organizations individuals can become involved in, but she always makes sure to state that people should do what they are most passionate about. She ends her talk by encouraging each and every one of us to inspire our future generations, just as her ancestors have inspired her. I found the end of her speech to be very motivating and emotionally engaging, and think it was the perfect ending to encourage people to go out in the community and get involved by giving their time, talents, or money.

What philanthropies are you passionate about? What do you do to help those causes?
