What change do you want to see in the world? Do you want to vaccinate youth against xenophobia or epidemic disease or both?  What would it mean for society to rethink health, education, masculinity or racism? Do you want to go it alone or work with a team to create change in the world? What compels you to give philanthropically? Have you gotten curious as to why you want to create this kind of change? Whether you are new to philanthropy or a seasoned change-maker, get ready for a conversation that will pull back the curtain on making a difference in the world.
