Philanthropy investors (PIs) will evaluate the programs at the 10th Anniversary Finals Event Celebration on March 13th at the Kravis Center. During the event, they will determine which programs they would like to fund and mentor to completion.

This year’s PIs are: Hannah Deoul Ford, Senior Associate Recruiter at Spencer Stuart; Madeleine Deoul Flaherty, Personal Stylist and Pilates Instructor at MDF Inc.; Debra Elmore, Business Analyst at AK Consulting, Lisa LaFrance, Philanthropy Advisor; Caitlin Macias, Entrepreneur and Activist; and Gail Meyer Asarch, Managing Partner at Meyer Development. Honorary Co-Chairs include Francis Fisher and Julie Fisher Cummings and Philanthropy Tank’s first PI ten years ago, Bill Meyer.
