Philanthropy Lab
in the News

Philanthropy Lab courses put real grant dollars in students’ hands. Over the course of a semester, they research local nonprofits, evaluate program models and financials, debate priorities with their classmates, and vote on where the funding goes. The decisions are theirs, and so are the consequences.

The following articles are what happened next… the organizations that received funding, the programs that expanded because of it, and the students who went on to serve on boards, launch initiatives, or build careers in the nonprofit sector. Together they offer a clearer picture of what the coursework actually produces than any summary we could write.
