Hey, Katie. I know you're listening. I think there's like a leak in the studio.

0:11.6

Hey, Drippy, what can I do for you? Well, you know. The reason you called me Drippy, I could use a hand, etc.

0:20.0

Never fear, Drippo. The Stole Foundation can help people like you.

0:25.2

Oh, good. This Stole Foundation. Glad that is apparently something. So are you going to fix the ceiling or

0:34.3

do something else? Probably you're probably going to do something else, right? Like a some bit.

Look under your desk. I hate this. It's a head diaper. As the Stole Foundation continues collecting

1:53.4

rid of old clothes and chips DVDs, charity is great. Our focus today is specifically on philanthropy.

2:00.8

And a philanthropic foundation is different from a regular charity. While a charity is a collective

2:06.0

working together for a need or cause, often a specific one at that. Philanthropy in the modern

2:12.0

context is a private initiative to promote or invest in a supposed and often broader public good.

2:18.8

Based upon the topic of this video, you can safely assume that supposed is doing a lot of heavy

2:24.6

lifting. Because while it may sound like a net good, there's always a catch with philanthropy.
