Robert Hornung of ISC America shares the developing story on Mark Zuckerberg's donation and charitable offering of a hospital building in San Francisco.
2. • People from all over the world know Mark Zuckerberg
as the creator and CEO of Facebook, the ground
breaking social media platform that has been in the
forefront of social media for years
• Facebook started from the idea of connecting people
who may pass each other each day on campus or on
the streets of the busiest city
• Facebook has many improvements to its technology,
processes, and even philanthropic efforts
3. • Just as Zuckerberg did with Facebook, he aims to
disrupt the norm of giving and philanthropy around
the world
• Zuckerberg was recently the subject of a major
philanthropic event that will impact countless families
• Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan are dedicating
a brand new, fully furnished, and state of the art
public hospital building
• The massive gift is estimated at $75 million and will be
known as the Zuckerberg San Francisco General
Hospital
4. • Its no secret that Zuckerberg is a wealthy man, $46 billion dollar
wealthy to be exact, so it only comes with the territory one would
assume that he would donate some of his time and wealth to
help the less fortunate
• Zuckerberg even made a $100 million donation to public school
in Newark, New Jersey that left many people scratching their
heads
• Zuckerberg and his wife have also transferred billions of dollars in
Facebook stock to a non-profit community foundation
• This foundation helps Zuckerberg divide up the stock as he sees
fit
• The new hospital building is designed for treating some of the
poorest residents in the San Francisco area
5. • Zuckerberg was recently interviewed regarding his
generous donation, and asked to give his thoughts on
philanthropy and giving back to one’s community
• He was quoted in saying, “I'd say that we're trying to
help people" rather than disrupt philanthropy. Just like
anything else you want to do well, investing in social-
good projects takes practice. "This is the reason why
we're starting when we're young.”
6. • The hospital will helps countless patients and make
new improvements and breakthroughs for many years
to come
• Zuckerberg’s wife, Priscilla, even developed a large
attachment to the building
• She actually chose to do her residency program there
because of the special offerings they have for treating
the needy and underprivileged
7. • The hospital is being seeing as “the people’s hospital”
based on its strong foundation of helping those who
could turn to no one else for aid
• The city of San Francisco and surrounding areas
seemingly cannot thank Zuckerberg and his wife
enough for their contribution
• The hospital will not only make the city better but will
impact the lives of so many children and families that
now have a place to go
