The Final Presentations and the Top 7 Applicants (Class 9)

Nov 18/2016

This class was the semi-final step in our selection process for our RFP. There were five groups in total, and each group presented the results of their selection process. By the end of the class, we had a total of 7 charities that had been chosen by one or more groups to receive some or all of the grant money. There was one charity in particular, charity X, that had been selected to receive funding by three of the five groups. While we were happy that we were nearing the end of our journey, one group reminded us of the difficulties of philanthropy; the burden of having to decide which charities don’t receive funding. All of the charities that applied were excellent charities that were doing great work in their community, and it was a difficult process to narrow these charities down to a select few.
