Fundamentals of Philanthropy is a five-part series that helps all working in philanthropy better understand the sector.
SESSION 1: Speaking the Same Language - The Role and Basics of Philanthropy
What is “philanthropy” and what motivates philanthropists? We’ll explore the history of philanthropy and the role it currently plays in conjunction with the nonprofit, private, and public sectors. We’ll also dive into important questions of equity and power around the establishment of philanthropy as a sector in the United States, and outline the different types of grantmaking organizations.
