Dr. Nir Tsuk, Founder & Director, New York University’s Institute for Impact and Intrapreneurship |
| An intimate discussion with world renowned photo realistic artist Yigal Ozeri; join us as we discuss art, life, and inspiration. New York City based Israeli artist Yigal Ozeri is best known for his large-scale cinematic portraits of distinctive young women in rich prodigious landscapes. With tinges of Pre-Raphaelite aesthetics, Ozeri brings an ethereal and uninhibited sensibility to his paintings. His portraits denote art historical foundations in romanticism, while also offering contemporary notions of sensual femininity. |
If impact is indeed “the action of one object coming forcibly into contact with another” and philanthropy is “the desire to promote the welfare of others, expressed especially by the generous donation of money to good causes” – then the relatively new term impact philanthropy is about using the former in order to better do the latter. In other words: how to improve – but more so… The key question for impact philanthropy therefore is not “what,” but “how” – how to achieve optimal results? How to reach higher? How to give (or is it actually invest?) in the best way? And then how to measure the outcomes? As always, such heavy “what” questions are being followed by an equally relevant “who” questions: who is to decide? Who is to measure? Whose responsibility is it, and whose impact?? |
