Join Charity CHAMPS and other microphilanthropy organizations (TBD) in a lively discussion about youth and microphilanthropy! Participants will learn how they can make a difference with just a small amount of time and money, and learn more about the debates going on regarding the impact of microphilanthropy on the world.

Chat topics:

1. What is microphilanthropy

2. Impact of microphilanthropy ‐ small actions do add up, and microphilanthropy organizations
are growing at phenomenal rates, but there are definitely debates:
a. On whether microlending reduces poverty or not
b. On whether small actions are better or large ones
c. On whether involvement with nonprofits in small ways will lead to larger involvement in the future

3. How to get involved – what organizations are out there (like the ones listed at
http://charitychamps.wordpress.com/microphilanthropy-a-list-of-places-where-you-can-getinvolved-now/) ,and what types of actions they support, such as:
a. Click‐to‐donate
b. Petitions
c. Shop for good
d. Micro‐lending
e. Micro‐donations
f. Other (emailing, surfing the net, playing games, etc.)

4. Q&A and Discussion
a. What kind of microphilanthropies would you get involved in and why?
b. Do you think microphilanthropy has a positive impact on the world?
c. Open discussion
