?? Volunteer Opportunity Alert! ?? Before moving to the UK, I had the privilege of serving on the Grants Committee of The Spruce Foundation in Philadelphia for two years. This experience offered me a unique perspective on the philanthropic process, allowing me to be part of the giving side of a foundation (rather than the applying). The Spruce Foundation is a dynamic community of young professionals dedicated to supporting local nonprofits that empower, educate, and uplift youth in Philadelphia. They are currently seeking reviewers for their grants committee, and I highly recommend getting involved! It's an incredible way to make an impact while connecting with like-minded individuals. Express your interest in this online form before 2nd March: https://lnkd.in/eRGpF9Wd If you're interested in learning more or getting involved, I would be happy to chat! ??? #Philanthropy #CommunityImpact #SpruceFoundation #NonprofitSupport Chelsea Hipwell, MPH
