If you had a million dollars to contribute to a cause, where would you choose to donate?

1000 Spotlights: Why We Give reflects our mission of giving back, to mentor and to inspire those around us.

Through a series of interview questions, we explore intrinsic motivations behind why we give, and talk with those inclined to make a difference in the lives of others. If you are involved in charitable activities, volunteer and paid academic engagements or in community service, we want to talk to you.
