Quote
We work on two fronts: supporting social entrepreneurs and growing the community of philanthropists and impact investors. My motivation comes from seeing the results of this work in real life. How the entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life and then scale their solutions to impact the daily lives of people around us. Hearing a story how an anti-bullying program is solving critical cases in a school, how a coding program is motivating youngsters to learn new skills and dream bigger.
