Listening to Michael Moritz on Radio 4 last week talking about charitable giving, I was struck by the simplicity of his message.
Michael Moritz, the venture capitalist chairman of Sequoia Capital (and an ex-comprehensive schoolboy from Cardiff) has made an incredible fortune and, now chooses to give huge amounts to charitable concerns.
"I think it is all too easy not to remember those that can be so easily forgotten," he says.
When asked on Radio 4’s Today programme if all those with unimaginable riches have a duty to give money to charity he answered that it wasn’t necessarily a duty but just “feels like the right thing to do”.
It does…and it is.
We don’t all have those stratospheric amounts, but we can all share the sentiment. Let’s choose our favourite charity carefully and each consider giving just the smallest amount. As we know, it all adds up.
From all of us at Mark Freeman & Associates go our wishes for the best of the festive season, and our hopes for the happiest of new years.
