PS 200 Non-Profits, Philanthropy, and Community Impact

Fall Semester

Students enrolled in this course will gain a complex understanding of philanthropy, the non-profit sector, and social impact investing. Complementing the history of charity and nonprofit organizations will be a look at modern philathropcapitalism and the cultural shift towards strategic philanthropy through a combination of site visits to local non-profits, interactions with philanthropists, and board members of area organizations. The grant process will be highlighted through a distribution of a $5,000 grant to one more local community organization(s).
