A New Age, A New Era
Entitlement vs. Philanthropy

It’s Not About YOU
IT’S ABOUT THE DONOR!!
FAILURE
• For every failure we had we had spreadsheets that looked awesome.
• “ If anything goes bad then I did it. If anything goes semi-good then we did it. If anything goes real good then you did it.”
– Bear Bryant
