As a Spokane native, born and raised on the northside, I love Spokane and couldn't imagine living anywhere else. The potential to make a meaningful difference in our city is as great as the people who live here. I feel blessed to be a part of an organization that works collaboratively to encourage one another and cheer on the successes of other non-profits. There are great non-profits serving our city on a variety of fronts and having a knowledge base of who is serving who and how to help direct people looking to support another's cause is equally as important to serving my own. Great things are happening in Spokane! I believe the INWPGC, our members and the non-profits we represent, strive to do our best at bringing awareness to our causes and work to generate philanthropic dollars that make positive and meaningful differences for both our benefactors and the people we serve. It is not often an individual may think of themselves as a "Philanthropist," but if you're giving of your time, talents or treasure, congratulations, you're a philanthropist! Let's show the world what giving can do and showcase Spokane as a leader in generosity.
