I prefer to help people achieve their goals. For example, my younger brother is interested in a career in photo journalism, so for his birthday I bought him $2000 worth of camera equipment and paid for 1 year at a photography school.

If their goal is running a business and they're passionate about it and they've created a business plan and everything is ready to go except that they need some start-up funds, then I would consider being an investor (note: not giving them money).

My point is, don't just hand people money, but consider giving them financial support to help them achieve their goals.
Great advice.
