2024 GIVE Graduation and Celebration

Hear about the accomplishments of our 2024 GIVE Class - professionals who dedicated 7 months to community leadership, personal and professional growth, and camaraderie. Join us in honoring them, their dedication to community, and their detailed and impactful project work with 7 fantastic Baltimore nonprofits.

P lus, experience the Turtle Tank! Turtle Tank is an opportunity for teams of Fellows to demonstrate their storytelling skills by producing a commercial about the incredible impact their non-profit partners are making in Baltimore. The videos are shared at GIVE Graduation and judged by a panel of Turtles – select Business Volunteers Maryland board members and friends – with teams who produced the most compelling videos securing prize money for their respective nonprofit partners to further their impact. All nonprofits, whether winners of the cash prize or not, walk away with a video commercial that can be further used for marketing purposes and a greater awareness of their mission – everyone’s a winner!

I f you'd like to be a part of this, please consider donating to this initiative. There are different tiers with different benefits including: Nonprofit Meet & Greet before the event, premium bar, and an opportunity to be a judge. Click here to learn more and to donate today!

Afterwards, we will stay in the beautiful Brown Advisory atrium to celebrate with light fare and drinks. All are welcome!

Come for graduation, the celebration, or both!
