Philanthropy and Social Change

Catalog description

This course focuses on current not-for-profit performing arts organizations in New Orleans through real time grant making. Working directly with two local performing arts organizations, students will create project proposals with their community partner, collectively awarding $10,000 over the course of the semester. With this experiential philanthropy, we will study the nonprofit sector, civil society, and social justice by having students confront the power and privilege of managing scarce resources in the face of abundant need.
