Improving Society Through

Innovation and Generosity

Your Goal - Do Good!

As members of a greater society, we are called upon to contribute what and how we can to strengthen communities and improve the quality of life for all. We may do this through our chosen occupations, volunteer work, monetary donations, and extracurricular activities. You will do this...STARTING TODAY!

Easy steps to success:

I. Design a community service organization that will benefit a specific population in need.

II. Your group is starting a new and original organization, not supporting an existing one. So, create a working business model that will keep your organization running. Create a way to be seen in the public eye, spread awareness, and encourage others to act while staying afloat.

III. Finally, design a proposal to obtain start-up funds from a philanthropic board. Through your research, evidence and persuasive pitch, convince the board that your chosen cause is one of high importance, and that your solutions will be the most effective in alleviating the challenges and improving the situation of your chosen group
in need.
