I believe in the idea that people will be more inclined to participate in charitable acts if they have the incentive of a profit behind it. However, I do not believe it is the same act. A person who donates to charity or creates a non-profit must do so for the act of doing the charitable act itself. If a person only did something nice because they wanted something in return, how genuinely nice is the act?
It leaves humans at the corner of a dilemma. Does a human accept the idea of making money off of charity or do they do charity for the act of doing charity. This however is not the criticism that Toms faced. Tom faced a lot of criticism in reguard to the people they donated to. People thought that those who recieved the Toms would become too reliant on others to have shoes. However, I do not think this is the issue. I believe the issue is making a profit from charity.
