We are entering our third year, and to date nearly 750 students have helped invest over $30,000 in the community. The lessons learned by the participants are helping them become better educated philanthropists who actively involved in their social investing. The skills they are developing will last a lifetime. And beyond.
What do students in our student philanthropy program do?
• learn about philanthropy and philanthropic organizations
• discuss the social concerns and needs of their communities
• identify non-profits that meet those concerns and needs
• contact agencies in the area of focus they choose
• develop a request for proposal (RFP)
• send out RFPs to the agencies of their choosing
• evaluate the completed RFPs
• visit agencies to see first-hand what they do
• fundraise to increase their grant-making potential
• discuss the different agencies they are considering
• decide which agency to support
• notify the agencies of their decisions
• present a check to the winning agency
• celebrate their successful completion
