There are so many kinds of philanthropists, and so many ways to give money away.  In this session, the youth philanthropy staff of the Pollination Project will give an insider look at some the more creative and unusual strategies they use to make grants. They will share stories of miraculous success and epic failure in the process of giving away a grant a day, every day of the year.  Most importantly, they will offer ideas for creating maximum impact and meaning with each dollar you give!
