Our Volunteers
Thank you !
Our volunteers have enabled us to achieve a greater impact much faster than we ever thought possible.
Philanthropy Connections’ development and the impact we have achieved so far would not have been possible without the phenomenal support we have received from numerous volunteers.
Their expertise and their countless hours of pro-bono work have enabled us to achieve a greater impact much faster than we ever thought possible. Here are all our volunteers from the beginning of Philanthropy Connections to date.
