PHILANTHROPY 101 - LSA has an exciting three week
summer program for rising seniors that brings the principles
of philanthropy to life. This is the
third summer that this program has
been offered to rising LSA seniors. We have 11 students who applied
and were accepted to
the program this summer. Students
become more keenly aware of society’s growing needs and
begin to develop the understanding, desire, ability, and instincts
for philanthropic service. Students
visit a variety of nonprofit agencies
and foundations and hear speakers from a number of charitable
organizations. Philanthropy
101 is generously funded by The W.
James Samford, Jr. Foundation. Students are given a certain amount
of money to donate to one
non-profit program of their choice
after reviewing several in our area. They are required to prepare
and present a PowerPoint
presentation at the culminating ceremony.
This is a wonderful opportunity for our students! If you have
any questions about
this program, please contact Christy
Garner. <
