Philanthropist Investors and Philanthropist Mentors

Our Philanthropist Investors (PIs) are successful entrepreneurs and real-life philanthropists with a proven track record of supporting community initiatives and organizations.

PIs provide their personal financial resources to support our student-led community impact programs. At the Finals Event, student finalists present their concept to persuade the investors that their community impact ideas are worth their requested funding. Philanthropist Investors will select the projects they want to mentor and fund.

Our PIs sometimes call upon Philanthropist Mentors (PMs). The PMs select the student awardees at the Finals Event and provide direct guidance and feedback to students on behalf of the Philanthropist Investor. Throughout one year, the PIs, PMs, and our CHANGEmakers work together to bring their ideas to fruition.
