The Social Media Generation Changing How Philanthropy Works

Sponsors of a new Hawaiian documentary, titled "Save the Reef," seeks to re-imagine how philanthropy works in today's social media era.

The documentary was made possible by Karmagawa, a charity community formerly known as the Timothy Sykes Foundation.

Save the Reef highlighted the degradation of coral reefs across the world. Co-founders Timothy Sykes, an entrepreneur and stock trader, and Philippine-born artist Mat Abad said Karmagawa is all about mobilizing people to change the world.
