Vision Statement
When both profits and philanthropy are in the black, compassionate capitalism can create a more equitable world.
Capitalism + Compassion = Compassionate Capitalism
In its essence, Philanthropy in the Black asserts a consciousness for all American citizens to become involved in the illumination of Compassionate Capitalism as a way of being. By advancing a belief system that profits will come when the good of the people and the planet has as high of a priority as their profits being in the black, we will have a transformed world.
