PALM BEACH COUNTY- Palm Beach County students have just a couple weeks left to submit their ideas to solve problems in their communities, and create sustainable change. Philanthropy Tank is looking for its next class of Palm Beach County “CHANGEmakers.” The nonprofit helps students in eighth through 11th grades expand their philanthropic programs through mentoring and training, giving them the skills and support they need to make a lasting impact in their communities. Each chosen finalist also has the opportunity to receive up to $15,000 in funding for their program. Philanthropist investors and mentors work with the students throughout the year. Mentors include a diverse array of local business and philanthropic leaders. All interested students must submit their application by Oct. 23.
Student application requirements:
• 8th - 11th grade

To date, Philanthropy Tank student-led programs in Palm Beach County and Baltimore have impacted more than 300,000 lives; more than 1,000 students have participated in the student programs; and more than $700,000 in grant money has been awarded to nearly 70 student-led projects.
“Philanthropy Tank empowered me to develop my leadership skills and make a positive contribution to my community,” said Gabriel Sun, Philanthropy Tank Alumnus and Co-Founder, MoneyBuddies, a program that teaches financial literacy to young people.
The majority of Philanthropy Tank Alumni continue to stay involved with the organization beyond high school graduation. Many have also turned their student-led projects into their own nonprofit organizations.
