To be able to give away such a large sum of money as a young adult was very special. This course made me get deeply invested in the non-profits I was researching and gave me a true passion for their missions, has inspired me to be a generous giver in my adult life, and made me think about how important generous givers are to our society and people in need. The course has also motivated me to succeed in my career so that one day I can give even more than I would have imagined id be able to.
