I feel like I read or hear all the time about how rich people aren’t taxed enough; including companies. No reason to believe it’s not true. Too many ways to do taxes and move money around to make the needle on the tax scale go up or down to their liking.

That’s why the May 25 issue of Time magazine resonated with me. It was about 100 influential philanthropists. Most seemed to have some connection to the United States, but all of their money isn’t staying here.

It’s giving in large and small quantities by people in the U.S. and the world-over that is impressive.

Some of the names most people will know—like Michael and Susan Dell (funding “Trump accounts” for kids), Elton John and David Furnish (AIDS related causes), and Willie Nelson (Farm Aid). Others were new to me—Terrence Meck who is feeding the needy in New York City, Louise Richardson is helping libraries across the U.S., and Xin Liu is working on youth-led climate solutions.

The causes people are involved with are all over the board—including tennis star Sloane Stephens reaching about 7,500 kids a year who otherwise would not have the money for coaching, equipment and facilities for tennis, swimming and soccer; music sensation Shakira is focused on education in her native Colombia; Tim Isgitt “launched the Public Media Bridge Fund to help over 100 vulnerable stations that collectively serve 43 million Americans to survive congressional cuts.”

The list of needs is daunting, while at the same time the list of accomplishments is inspiring. And this is just 100 people giving back. Clearly, there are multitudes of others giving in various amounts.

This issue of Time really gave me hope. Even if some of the needs are completely met, the givers will keep on giving because there will always be another need. And that’s just who they are—givers.

I’m a firm believer we all need to give back—it has nothing to do with what one pays in taxes. Giving doesn’t have to be dollars; it doesn’t have to include a lot of zeroes. Giving can come in the form of time, and be in the form of helping a neighbor or someone else. It feels good to be a giver.
