I am quoted in this story about philanthropy in Prince George’s County, as a member of this year’s cohort for the Emerging Impact Leaders Fund (ELIF) of the Greater Washington Community Foundation. Check out all the good work that is happening in our county!
“I’m excited to learn more about this world of philanthropy,” incoming ELIF member Kate Spanos shares.
Kate learned about ELIF through her Nonprofit Management & Leadership course at the University of Maryland in College Park. Like several of her classmates, Kate is eager to see how she can apply the principles she’s learning in the classroom to the work she does every day.
“My partner and I started EducArte (a nonprofit in Prince George’s County) at the outset of the pandemic,” Kate explains. “Being new to the nonprofit and philanthropy space, we’re still learning how things work. My hope is that through ELIF we can not only give back, but also better understand what the needs of the community are so we can align ourselves to meet them, as an organization.”
