Would you like to get involved in charitable work or maybe you’re already active in philanthropy? Philanthropy embraces a wide spectrum of activity, from active charity to general volunteer work, donations or supporting social projects through financial or other means.

Your opportunities to become philanthropically active are as broad as the term itself. There is no one right way to get involved efficiently with maximum impact. The journey is as individual and unique as you are; however, most philanthropists are guided by the same questions.

We address these questions and answers in the video series “UBS Philanthropy and Women’s Wealth – doing good better.”
