Why would they want to "fix local poverty"? What does that even mean, writing checks in perpetuity? Why would they want to give their resources to other people? How culturally compatible are these "millionaires" with the people they would supposedly be helping? What does a Chinese expat engineer have in common with a schizophrenic black hobo that he would want to write them a check, their presence in the same zip code? Why would he do so when he's already taxed, heavily, to provide things like "homeless services" in SF to the tune of $250 million / year (IE, approximately $20K / homeless person) with apparently no effect? How much of a cut do these "nonprofits" take along the way? Lots of unasked questions here.
