"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
A group of Giving Pledgers met Friday for an annual gathering, this year held in Santa Barbara.
Forbes reports that this year's event focused heavily on partnering with government to maximize impact, and social entrepreneurship.
Another focus was investing in girls and women, an issue close to Sandberg's heart.
Pledgers commit to giving with a Pledge Letter, which details the reasons they chose to give and to which causes they intend to dedicate their money.
