The Harbus Foundation: Giving Has its Rewards - Harbus - News

The Harbus Foundation: Giving Has its Rewards - Harbus - News: "Marni Weil is a member of one of this year's Harbus Foundation Venture Philanthropy Teams. Come learn more about HBS' Harbus Foundation and meet student-selected grant awardees at a celebration on Wednesday, April 20th from 5:15 pm to 6:15pm in the Spangler Meredith Room.

Before I came to HBS, the word 'philanthropist' conjured up names like Rockefeller and Carnegie, and in today's world, Gates. I never imagined that there would be a student organization where I could have experiences similar to those of these civic icons (albeit temporarily and at a somewhat smaller scale!); but low and behold, at this fall's HBS Club Fair I was introduced to the Harbus Foundation.

The Harbus Foundation is the only entirely student-run foundation in the country."
