Connie Milstein on Philanthropy:

“What I have tried to do is what my father always told me—find a niche where people are not doing what needs to be done and try to fill it.  I have always believed in public-private partnership—working with the government if you can—so it's time for private citizens to do what they can do.  Humpty Dumpty, for example, has both a domestic and international arm.  Internationally, the mission is the removal of land mines all over the world...right now [work is under way] in Angola and we're applying for grants...[for] Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.  Here at home we try to strengthen the ties between the United Nations and the Congress.  It's a bi-partisan effort where we bring ambassadors to Washington, DC, and congressmen and -women to the UN.”
