This. Let's be honest, lobbying for change isn't for everyone. To make change actually happen it takes money, time, commitment, and connections. Maybe he thinks he is better suited to help this way instead.

Agreed. I used to be a front line lobby for change type. You realize sometimes its just easier to throw money at the situation. The problem a lot of people have is thinking there is only one way to solve a problem.

Which is why you have a successful program in one area work, but that same program fall flat in other places. (Charter Schools, Co-Op healthcare.)
