I’d like to add three aspects of Chuck’s philanthropy that are not mentioned in the post and that he shared with us for a report we published in 2022 called “Influence for Good”:
In addition to universities and hospitals, Chuck also supported various initiatives for systemic change, including the piece process in Ireland and the healthcare system in Vietnam.
In his systems change philanthropy, he gave up control and put it in the hands of “proximate leaders”.
Chuck didn’t just use his financial assets. He also invested large amounts of social and political capital to promote change.

See https://www.ashoka.org/en-us/influence-for-good for a profile on Chuck and more information on these principles.
Thanks for these details! I updated the relevant paragraph to include them.
