Interesting piece. Some of the numbers are hard to grasp.

Quote:
the nonprofit sector has been steadily growing. Between 2001 and 2011, the number of nonprofits increased 25 percent. Their growth rate now exceeds that of both the business and government sectors. It’s a massive business, with approximately $316 billion given away in 2012 in the United States alone and more than 9.4 million employed.
It's kinda funny. If the super rich did nothing in regards to charity they would be bigger monsters than they are already made out to be. When they do give they are called on their motives and methods.
