Philanthropy: Charles Bronfman

Charles Bronfman: The genesis of The Art of Doing Good is rooted in Montreals Seagram family, a family firmly linked with philanthropy. Charles Bronfman, who now has dual-citizenship in the United States, is a senior member of the family. His own philanthropy began when he was just 17. Jeffrey Solomon is the president of the Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies, according to The Chronicle Herald. The result offers tools and real-world advice, to help others who have similar aspirations, so they can be prepared for the roadblocks and challenges they will face. The authors like to think The Art of Doing Goodwill also be a compass for sustaining the spirit, ambition, and ingenuity needed by any social entrepreneur who chooses to follow this path and We all want to do good but most of us are content to do good in small ways. We walk for a cause, we volunteer for a cause. We may donate to others, and feel we have done our part. Social entrepreneurs want to do more. They want to change the world. John Sedgwick drew from Bronfman and Solomons leadership roles in the non-profit world, and added the real life stories of 18 celebrated social entrepreneurs. He put their thoughts, experiences and approaches to giving on paper, so others could learn from this collective wisdom. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
