As a non-core activity, your philanthropic reach and impact are limited by your administrative capacity, requiring you to be highly selective and effective in grant-making. The pursuit of increasing funds distribution often leads to unintended consequences, such as creating dependencies on donor funds and systemic social failures. Additionally, the social systems you aim to influence are highly complex, making it difficult to allocate funds efficiently and achieve meaningful progress.
