Empowering People to Help Themselves
What is ProPhilanthropy®?
ProPhilanthropy® is an all-volunteer organization focused on promoting positive and sustainable change for individuals and their communities
through short-term financial and other assistance.
How Does it Work?
ProPhilanthropy® partners with microfinance organizations to provide small loans that can be used to help start or build a business or allow someone to complete vocational training.
Why is it Different?
ProPhilanthropy® provides a "hand up" to empower individuals on a current and sustainable basis, and differs from microlending sites in providing tax-deductibility to donors.
