In other words, people have to work together.” The process is simple: each team must submit a 500-word description about their idea by 3 p.m. Monday, March 3.

Attendees at the PHILANTHROPY MIAMI Conference on Strategic Thinking on Friday, March 21 at Jungle Island will select the top five. The five with the most votes will move on to the final round at PHILANTHROPY MIAMI Conference Day of Dynamic Ideas on Friday, March 21 at Jungle Island. The finalists will present their ideas to the PHILANTHROPY MIAMI Shark Tank, a panel of five business and nonprofit executives. The winning team and their proposal will be announced that day and be awarded $5000 to set their idea in motion. “In the past, we focused our efforts solely on the nonprofit community.
