WHO WE ARE
Philanthropy Tank empowers and inspires the next generation of CHANGEmakers by challenging and equipping students to implement sustainable service-driven solutions to problems impacting our community.
OUR PROGRAM
Students in grades 8-11 can apply to Philanthropy Tank for an opportunity to receive mentorship and funding for their student-led community impact ideas.
Since our inception in 2015, Philanthropy Tank has awarded over $700,000 in funding to 70+ student-led projects in Palm Beach County, FL (HQ) and Baltimore, MD. Of those programs, approximately 40% have become their own 501c3 nonprofit organizations.
Our CHANGEmakers have created and continue to run organizations that support various areas of impact.
