The Philanthropy Lab

Team Phil Lab hit the ground in Nashville for our last campus visit of the semester at Vanderbilt University , and it did not disappoint! Students in Vandy’s “Philanthropy & Social Problem Solving” course designed their own funding parameters and board meeting norms, then began deliberations for final grant allocations. The discussions are intense, and the stakes are high! We're on the edge of our seats waiting to find out which organizations will receive grants! #PhilanthropyEducation #VanderbiltUniversity #vanderbiltu #philanthropylab

Philanthropy and the Public Good, Baylor University's Phil Lab class, prioritizes trust-based philanthropy, an approach that emphasizes strong, equitable relationships between funders and grantees.

American University’s Philanthropy Lab students each interview two philanthropists, comparing and contrasting their giving philosophies. Students then craft an individual giving narrative, thinking back on how philanthropy has impacted their own lives to establish a giving philosophy based on personal interests and shared values.

To fuel a desire for further philanthropy, try spending time with generous people and with those in need. #philanthropylab #thephilanthropylab #philanthropyimpact #studentswhogiveback #collegephilanthropy #philanthropymatters

Phil Lab was in the Nation’s Capital ???? this week for a visit to our inaugural class at American University! Our AU students experienced a holistic view of the process of philanthropy, with guest speakers in philanthropic advising, fundraising, and us as funders. We can’t wait to see where the class will direct their first ever grants! American University #AUChangeCantWait #philanthropy #philanthropyinaction #philanthropylab #thephilanthropylab
