Philanthropy
Minor has dedicated time and money to community efforts in Charlottesville, Va, Los Angeles, CA, and San Francisco, CA. Minor's largest initiative is the development of a global curriculum for separated parents, and children of separated parents, to better deal with the acute stresses brought about by parental separation. Over the last 4 years, Kids Turn has developed a low-cost curriculum that can be integrated across the globe to help municipalities without the resources to develop, test and improve such programs on their own. The new curriculum launches for the first time in 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word philanthropy:
“I shall not be forward to think him mistaken in his method who quickest succeeds to liberate the slave. I speak for the slave when I say that I prefer the philanthropy of Captain Brown to that philanthropy which neither shoots me nor liberates me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... the hey-day of a woman’s life is on the shady side of fifty, when the vital forces heretofore expended in other ways are garnered in the brain, when their thoughts and sentiments flow out in broader channels, when philanthropy takes the place of family selfishness, and when from the depths of poverty and suffering the wail of humanity grows as pathetic to their ears as once was the cry of their own children.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Almost every man we meet requires some civility,—requires to be humored; he has some fame, some talent, some whim of religion or philanthropy in his head that is not to be questioned, and which spoils all conversation with him. But a friend is a sane man who exercises not my ingenuity, but me.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
