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

Greg has spoken at events for nonprofit leaders, staff of philanthropic organizations, volunteers & donors. He has also spoken about philanthropy at schools, retreats & conferences for middle/high school students & college students. SCROLL DOWN

Nonprofits, community foundations, and certain chapters of national nonprofits have gotten the books &/or workbooks based on Greg's story for 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.
