Food Philanthropy 101
Before you think about writing a check, you need to determine which areas of the food sector you're most passionate about.
As you consider each sector, think about your life today. Don’t worry about what you may or may not care about five years from now. Start with the present, and pay close attention to your emotional response. If teaching inner-city children to cook isn’t appealing to you, how about raising awareness on Capitol Hill? We all have unique gifts, abilities and interests, and this process is entirely about you.
