Give and take. It’s a phrase bandied about most often when a compromise is involved. But for an altruistic group, the “take” part simply doesn’t apply. These POWER PLAYERS don’t seek the spotlight, and their work quietly improves the fabric of the city in countless areas — from hunger and homelessness to racial reconciliation, education, the arts, healthcare, and the environment. Behind the scenes, they feed the poor, heal the sick, and provide more than just the basic necessities of life. They do so leading foundations and organizations that collectively give hundreds of millions of dollars to the region. But most importantly, they give those they serve a sense of hope and dignity. The term “give till it hurts” is not in their vernacular, as they happily give and ease the hurt of those they serve. And the city is better because of them.
