"I don't think you ever stop giving. I really don't. I think it's an ongoing process. And it's not just about being able to write a check. It's being able to touch somebody's life." Oprah Winfrey
"Changing the world doesn’t require much money. Again, think in terms of empowerment and not charity. How much were Gandhi’s teachers paid? How much did it cost to give Dr. Martin Luther King the books that catalyzed his mind and actions?" Tim Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Workweek, entrepreneur and angel investor
"My theme for philanthropy is the same approach I used with technology: to find a need and fill it." An Wang, founder of Wang Laboratories and National Inventors Hall of Fame inductee (1988)
"Charity is just writing checks and not being engaged. Philanthropy, to me, is being engaged, not only with your resources but getting people and yourself really involved and doing things that haven't been done before." Eli Broad, co-founder of KB Home and founder of SunAmerica and the only person to found two Fortune 500 companies in two different industries (construction & insurance)
"The work of today is the history of tomorrow and we are its makers." Juliette Gordon Low, founder of Girls Scouts of America which is America's first voluntary organization for girls
"Philanthropy is often seen as society's risk capital. That means the onus is on philanthropists, nonprofit leaders and social entrepreneurs to innovate. But philanthropic innovation is not just about creating something new. It also means applying new thinking to old problems, processes and systems." Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen, founder of LAAF, a private operating foundation that serves as a philanthropic innovation lab
"I had to make my own living and my own opportunity. But I made it! Don't sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them." Sarah Breedlove, better known as Madam C.J. Walker, America's first female self-made billionaire and founder of Madame C.J. Walker Manufacturing Company
"My team is the backbone of the company. They give shape and form to my vision." Farrhad Acidwalla, 16-year old founder of Rockstah Media, a full-scale marketing agency
Website policies are absolutely essential if you have a website. They provide you, the website owner, with the opportunity to lay out the expectations for how your visitors and users will interact with your website. You also inform users of what will and will not happen with the information they give you by interacting with your website. These two functions are absolutely essential because you are ultimately responsible (read: liable) for what happens on your website. An effective website policy is not only smart business but crafting one is insanely easy. There is no good reason why you should not have a website policy and certain provisions are actually required by law.
Website policies are comprised of a number of parts or individual provisions. Sometimes you will see all of the parts wrapped up in one document or statement (“Terms and Conditions”). Sometimes you will see each individual policy stated separately (“Use Policy,” “Privacy Policy,” “Limitation of Liability,” etc.). As they say, “There is more than one way to skin a cat.” While that saying is quite disturbing, the point of the saying is true. There are multiple ways to present your website policies but the most important thing is to have the essential parts in place. |
