Cambodia School Funding
Share
A conversation about Neil Patel's approach to charitable giving, specifically about funding schools he's never visited.
"I've never seen it. We have a school I think it's in Cambodia and we've done a few others, but I don't really keep track - my wife does. The bigger thing is it's not my school, it's more so the kids' school now. They're learning and getting value from it."
When discussing charitable giving, Neil explained: "We don't look at it from the aspect of am I donating x dollars or too high of a percentage. We look at it as do we actually think it's gonna make a big impact in the next year or short run or 2 years. We don't want to wait 10-20 years to see an impact. We also don't want to put money towards things like cancer research. I think cancer is really important, I know a lot of people who have died from cancer, but I don't have enough money to make a dent into cancer versus solving some of the basic things out there. I can make an impact on things like education in a region."
