Philanthropic Leadership

Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

This course will prepare students to systematically plan for volunteer leadership through board service and financial giving across the course of their careers. Topics to be covered include: motivations for board service and philanthropic giving; the role of philanthropy in society; non-profit board structures, governance, and risk mitigation; impact and other forms of giving; board practicum. The course will be informed by theory and experiential in nature. Students will have the opportunity to research local non-profit organizations, determine whether this is the type of board they want to serve on, and, thanks to the generosity of a grant to our course from The Philanthropy Lab, award ~$50,000 to local organizations.
