Think about it - the people that contribute the most to others aren't considered kind and generous and didn't start out with an intention to be kind and generous. And they are usually considered filthy, greedy businessmen. Bill Gates is a great example. Look at all the jobs he created...and all the charity he provides. Same with Sam Walton.
It's men like Bill Gates and the late Sam Walton that make the Mother Thesesa's possible.
So, I suggest that you go after your own passions selfishly, which is the best way to help others.

Money to be made in being kind and generous...I can't understand why a monetary gain would go hand in hand with kindness, with generosity.
Either you are kind and generous or you aren't it's up to the individual but a monetary gain is like giving with the right hand and taking it back with the left hand.
No I don't think that there is money to made in kindness and generosity. The rewards if any are far greater than any amount of financial gains one can accrue.
I would rethink your motives on kindness and generosity if I were you. There's more to it than gain.

If you have to ask if there is money in it as if being kind and generous was a business...I wouldn't worry about being kind or generous unless you want to be kind and generous to yourself. Generosity, usually extends to others.

Being generous does not necessarily have to do with money. A generous heart is good enough.

There is. Only if your intention is to be kind and generous with it, though.

There can be. If you work or operate a charity, you can take a percentage of donated funds as operating costs and still give to those in need.
