philanthropy

Picture
Greg's interest in philanthropy was sparked as a child -- thanks in large part to the MS Read-a-Thon. When he was 25, he founded The 11-10-02 Foundation. The volunteer-run organization has now provided scholarships & grants in all 50 states. Greg has been featured by media like NonProfit Times & The Washington Post.  For his civic efforts, he has received honors like the Jefferson Award for Public Service. On separate occasions, Greg as an individual and The 11-10-02 Foundation as an organization have been named Daily Points of Light. SCROLL DOWN

​Nonprofits, community foundations, and certain chapters of national nonprofits have gotten the books &/or workbooks based on Greg's story f
or their Board, staff, volunteers, donors, beneficiaries, teen philanthropy program participants &/or other local students. Over the years, some nonprofits have sponsored The Elevator Project (a kindness recognition project involving the books) as well.  ​SCROLL DOWN

​Local foundations and certain
 chapters of national nonprofits have gotten copies of the Legacy Poem posters for adults (e.g. for their Legacy Society donors) &/or students (e.g. for civic-minded teens in their community).  ​SCROLL DOWN​

In many cases, a company or organization getting the books for adults or students has also partnered with Greg on an event. For example, McDonald's got the books & workbooks for a teen philanthropy group raising funds for their local Ronald McDonald House and sponsored Greg speaking with the group.
