[b]From Katy:[/b]
[b][i]Working at Givology has really motivated me to value my education. I know that wherever I go, in whatever circumstance I’m in, I’ll be able to apply it in some way. I’m excited by the way Givology is revolutionizing philanthropy through online giving, and how we’ve been able to connect our grassroots partners to a wider, global network of individual donors. When reading through our students’ profiles, I always find that we share many hobbies and interests. I’m inspired by their gratitude and hard-work despite whatever hardships they face.[/i][/b]
[b][i]I'm incredibly inspired by ev[/i][/b][b][i]eryone on our team. GO GIVOLOGY![/i][/b]
