Philanthropy Tank was recently honored by the School District of Palm Beach County for reaching the milestone of 10 years of service to students.
Through Philanthropy Tank, hundreds of Palm Beach County students have turned their ideas into meaningful programs that address real challenges right in our backyard.
The mentoring and funding that the Philanthropy Tank program provides have helped students develop leadership and entrepreneurial skills and fostered a culture of service and innovation that will continue to shape the future.
Philanthropy Tank has also partnered with the school district to establish Philanthropy Tank clubs in schools across the county. The clubs started with the Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts and Suncoast High School. Clubs are being added at Spanish River High School, Park Vista High School this school year. These clubs will encourage even more students to launch initiatives to solve problems facing our community.
“As we celebrate this 10-year milestone, I want to express my sincere appreciation for the partnership of the School District of Palm Beach County,” said Amy Brand, Philanthropy Tank CEO. “With their continued support, we look forward to many more years of uplifting and empowering the next generation of leaders in Palm Beach County.”
Brand was joined at the school board meeting by Michael Kohner, co-founder of Philanthropy Tank; Joshua Burnston, president of the Suncoast Philanthropy Tank Club; Cathryn and Jackson Murray, founders of My Allergy is Driving Me Nuts, a Philanthropy Tank 2025-26 program; and Luke and Chase Barenburg, founders of DuNation, a Philanthropy Tank 2025-26 program and co-presidents of the newly formed Park Vista Philanthropy Tank Club.
Founded in 2015, the nonprofit Philanthropy Tank challenges, empowers and equips student “changemakers” to develop and execute sustainable initiatives and solutions to solve problems in their communities while developing youth leaders.
