Competition Invites Students to Join Philanthropy Tank
Piggybacking on the success of the ABC TV show “Shark Tank,” a group of local attorneys, CPAs, financial advisors and nonprofit leaders have joined together to create their own philanthropic version of the entrepreneurial enterprise.
In this version, called Palm Beach Philanthropy Tank, the competition is to create innovative solutions to community issues and social problems facing communities.
“We hope to excite Palm Beach County‘s philanthropic community, and especially encourage students to consider our area’s social problems and design innovative solutions to them,” Evan Deoul, AB Bernstein’s senior managing director, who is co-chairman of Palm Beach Philanthropy Tank with Michael L. Kohner, managing director of Andersen Tax, said in a statement.
“But, we’re not sharks,” Deoul said, jokingly. “We’re dolphins.”
