PST 310 PHILANTHROPY AND SOCIAL CHANGE

This course explores the development of American philanthropy from its historical and legal foundations to its contemporary role in supporting nonprofit organizations, encouraging changes in public policy and fomenting social change. Incorporating a variety of classroom and on-site experiences and visits from several foundation officials, students will analyze current trends in philanthropy, including the internal dynamics of grant-making institutions and the processes involved in awarding grants to applicants. The course culminates in a simulation in which students establish philanthropy, assuming roles as executives and board members of a grant making entity.
