Revenue and profit, innovation and scale - these are not words most people associate with philanthropy. However, this is changing as nonprofits explore new models to grow their impact without relying entirely on donations. Philanthropitch stands as a testament to this idea and uplifts the communities that also support and share this ideology. Thanks to our Title Sponsor Kiwanis Club of Columbus and event Co-Host SocialVentures, we established lasting relationships in Columbus and made an impact for seven local nonprofits.
