Zuckerberg to Give Away Fortune

Article in Wall Street Journal on 12/2/2015.

Will give away 99% of their facebook shares, now valued at 45 Billion.

He and his wife have joined the other 138 billionaires to give away at least half their wealth to Charity.

Their initial focus is on "personalized learning, curing disease, connecting people and building strong communities."

I wonder if any Christian non profits will get some or any of this money.


"Philanthropy experts say that for many wealthy people, deciding to give away their dollars is often easier than directing where the money should go."

 A previous post of mine address's this challenge. 

Author Alan Gotthardt has updated his Eternity Portfolio book and titled it ...The Eternity Portfolio Illuminated.

Alan is a nationally recognized investment advisor, who has spent nearly tree decades focused on the intersection of faith and money.

His new book  includes quest commentaries by people he has worked with and helped them make the decisions on how to best invest their resources for maximum effectiveness.

A previous post of mine includes a checklist from his book showing how to evaluate a charity... whether one has a small amount or millions to invest.

Please come back to this post after checking Alan's Checklist.
