"There’s always an opportunity to give money, if that’s an option," she says. "But giving money is just not sufficient. You’ve got to really make sure that the people that you’re giving your money to are keeping their eyes on the things that really matter to you."
"Everyone either wants to alleviate poverty or have lofty missions," she explains. "But it's the ones who specifically communicate, 'We’re about serving women,' that then when they measured themselves against it, really are. Philanthropy is wonderful... but being smart about what your money is actually out there doing... is the real responsibility."
