ReGenerate Philly Summit: 5 social good projects, incl. Philly Give & Get, win $5k

ReGenerate Philly was organized by Washington, D.C.-based Mobilize.org, which focuses on engaging millennials and has held more than a dozen conferences in cities like Charlotte, N.C., San Jose, Calif., Miami, Fla. and Detroit, Mich.

Winners at the Regenerate Philly Summit pose with Mobilize.org's executive director Scott Stein.

Five local social good projects won $5,000 each at last weekend’s ReGenerate Philly Summit, a conference that brought together millennials — 20- and 30-somethings — to discuss how to shape Philadelphia’s future.

ReGenerate Philly was organized by Washington, D.C.-based Mobilize.org, which focuses on engaging millennials and has held more than a dozen conferences in cities like Charlotte, N.C., San Jose, Calif., Miami, Fla. and Detroit, Mich. Mobilize.org chooses cities based on “where millennial civic engagement was low or where [it] had the most connections and could make the biggest difference,” said spokeswoman Nicole Woods. The organization is backed by the Knight Foundation.

Eighteen projects vied for a piece of the $25,000 award money, one year of space at 3rd Ward‘s HUB coworking space and additional support from Mobilize.org. The winners were:
