Ingenious generosity: The legacy of education transcends generations. No better way to fix such a complex industry by starting at its core. Many philantropists prefer spending administrative dollars by donating to a hospital or healthcare charity but donating to leapfrog future leaders of healthcare in NYC’s poorest borough maximises efficiency of investment dollars into perpetuity. Bravo Prof. Gottesman! I just hope she included a condition in her donation that each of the students be taught leadership and the business of healthcare. Lawyers run the biggest law firms, accountants lead the best accounting companies, doctors should hold the reigns of healthcare systems.

Dr. Ruth Gottesman, the 93-year-old widow of a Wall Street financier, has donated $1 billion to Bronx medical school, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, with instructions that the donation will be used to cover tuition for all students going forward. Dr. Gottesman is a former professor at the school. The donation is not only the largest one ever given to the school, but also important because it is going to a medical school in the Bronx, NYC’s poorest borough. The moment the students realize their tuition is paid for is everything 🥺

Can't resist sharing this very encouraging news cum example to emulate in our lives too. I am a firm believer that "Education" is the single most important avenue to invest and the most powerful tool to develop a progressive society. If the Governments all around the globe and philanthropist around us help the masses accessing the most potent weapon against poverty, world would definitely be a better place to live. In a country where more than 26 million school- going- age kids are out of school, this is incumbent upon us to help the masses through initiative like TCF etc. #education, #tcf

It brings tears to my eyes! It brings joy to my heart! It brings awe and admiration to those who give generously from their hearts (regardless of giving level). It brings hope to see all those students' lives change at that very moment. (Watch the clip on repeat) Reading about this amazing gift and the lives it will forever change is beautiful and worth your time. —————— P.S. I used the word gift for a reason! This isn't about philanthropy, donors, fundraising, or impact giving. This is about her desire and willingness to give… Gift- noun: 1. A thing given willingly to someone without payment; a present. 2. The actual definition of a 'gift' is the transfer of something without the expectation of payment. Although gift-giving might involve an expectation of reciprocity, a gift is meant to be free.

This wonderful and generous message made my day, week, year so far. In a world where learning has become an exorbitant expense for the learner and for society at large, this generous donation will hopefully change the way governments, learning institutions and donators support learning. People who are invested in their learning should also be surrounded with people who are just as invested in their success. Not having a school debt means: - they can focus on learning, not work 3 jobs while studying - they can enter the business world and focus on doing their best - instead of stressing out on bills, working crazy hours, not eating well, and doing without - they can in turn contribute more to society by focusing on the important work they are doing and, who knows they might donate their own well earned dollars to future learners. Imagine the impact to society? Let this not be the only investment made to our future. #leadbyexample #investinpeople #makelearningfree

This is truly amazing; leveraging the capital market and tax laws to give it back to the public. Knowledge is not the power until it’s applied.

This is INCREDIBLE 💚 What an amazing idea, and I love that this was at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine - for it was he, who aptly said that "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" This was the quote I used in my article only last week and it's vital we start doing things differently! The current status quo, the current ways of working, are clearly no longer working - evident all around us in the workplace, in society, and globally. We need to start changing the system! I am a decade old doctor and still paying off my student debt (which is over >30k and probably growing thanks to inflation, but still far less than what younger doctors and medical students will owe...) This REBELLIOUS idea and LEADERS like this, is what the world needs right now. Do you agree? What do you think we need to start changing quickly and drastically? I have some ideas about how the healthcare system is currently operating (or not), and what could be changed for the better if there was the collective will.
