It has been awhile since we have checked in and updated you on what our class has been up to. UNC-Chapel Hill is currently on its first week back from spring break; many of our classmates had some really fun adventures during their break!
Now that we are back from break, we are already busy and getting back to work with our grant application process.
We sent out an application for grants to nonprofit organizations around the state of North Carolina with a mission to help immigrant and refugee communities. We are still awaiting all of the applications for funding to begin the process of grant-making!
In the meantime, our class has been examining case studies discussing current events on topics in philanthropy. Through these case studies and current events, our class has the opportunity to examine and analyze real-world examples of philanthropy and the positive effects it can have in communities. We have discussed issues varying from ethics to publicity under the topic of philanthropy.
We are using these lessons to help improve the work we do in class. As a foundation board, we are trying to use the lessons we learn from the case studies and apply it to our application process so we can make the best possible impact on our community.
