While sitting and reflecting on an important subject, it hit me — after co-founding, acquiring and exiting multiple businesses, the most meaningful topic in entrepreneurship today isn't just growth or strategy. It's philanthropy. Success isn't just about building wealth; it's about creating impact. Entrepreneurs have the power to shape industries, influence communities and drive social change — but only if they actively choose to give back.

As a council member of the Israeli-American Council, I've had the privilege of engaging with both youth and the broader community, fostering entrepreneurial growth through education, mentorship and leadership development. Whether discussing artificial intelligence, business strategy or social responsibility with aspiring entrepreneurs at recent events in Las Vegas, I've seen firsthand the power of mentorship and guidance in shaping the next generation.

Similarly, my involvement with Make-A-Wish Foundation has been a deeply personal and emotional experience. Witnessing the sheer joy of children whose wishes are granted has reinforced a belief that's critical for every entrepreneur: Our ability to create opportunities goes far beyond business — we have a responsibility to support those who need it most.

Philanthropy isn't just about writing checks. It's about strategic giving, integrating charitable efforts into our business models and ensuring that our success contributes to a larger purpose. Entrepreneurs can support causes through direct contributions, partnerships, mentorship or even allocating a portion of product sales to impactful initiatives.

Choosing the right cause is personal, but for those looking to make a real difference, here are 10 philanthropic organizations that every entrepreneur should consider supporting.
