Activism is hard. Confronting systems and institutions that create or sustain inequality can be isolating and overwhelming. Advocacy often requires disruption and doing things that are uncomfortable.
Philanthropy for some people is not so hard. Some have more than theyâll ever use, so they give away the excess. Many give only if everyone will applaud their charity and their quality of life wonât be compromised. But there are also rare philanthropists like Agnes Gund who do difficult things: They use resources to confront injustice and oppression; they seek to disrupt the status quo and pursue change that not everyone values; they are âphilactivists.â And the world has never needed them more than it does right now.
