Funders & Doers: Teaming up for disaster relief, #GivingTuesday & Beyond | Adnan Mahmud

Funders & Doers: Teaming up for disaster relief, #GivingTuesday & Beyond | Adnan Mahmud: The trouble is, most of us tend to remember to give only after disasters and during the holiday season -- especially with the growing popularity of the "Giving Tuesday" movement, observed Dec. 3 this year. But for the millions of people in need locally and globally, access to medical care, housing, food and water aren't only problems once or twice a year. Poverty doesn't take a day off.

We needs more funders. We need more people to give and we need existing philanthropists to stretch their wallets a little bit more. All of us can do better by giving actively, as much as we can, and not just when we're prompted to by a major tragedy or a date on the calendar.
