Carol Kelly
I have been incredibly impressed with the services offered by Philantropia. While I appreciate the effort put into the courses, I would suggest evaluating the success rates of fully registered members who secure funding in a year. It would be beneficial to analyze and identify any gaps in the courses that may prevent members from achieving their goals.
