“Philanthropy Tank has helped me so much by connecting me to Julie Fisher Cummings, which has led to our partnership with organizations such as the Lord's Place and PACE Center for Girls. I have learned to connect with as many people as possible because connections can lead to partnerships that can create a large and beneficial impact on others.”
– Caitlen Macias, Equal & Empowered (2016 Finalists)
“Seeing the students’ bold philanthropic visions is all the motivation we need at the organization to assist them in developing their plans.”
