SOYP 2012 - The State of Young Philanthropy

Philanthropy: it's not just for Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. This event will feature local organizations Generocity, Philly4Philly, and The Spruce Foundation, each of which has a model for giving that meets young professionals where they are. From web apps matching highly skilled volunteers with non-profits to project oriented online micro-philanthropy, each shakes the dust off of our ideas of stuffy and inaccessible philanthropy and allows young Philadelphians to make powerful, positive, and immediate impact in their community. Each organization will present their model of engagement in a short panel discussion, immediately followed by an opportunity for attendees to directly engage its leaders.
