Controversies in Philanthropy: FSSO 119-100 Fall 2021

Introduction to Controversies in Philanthropy

In five chapters, students in the SAGES First Seminar, FSSO-119-100: "Philanthropy in America," have explored controversial issues related to nonprofit and philanthropic work in five categories: Educational Philanthropy, Philanthropy for the Arts, Healthcare Nonprofits, Social Justice Nonprofits, and finally, Philanthropy for Developing Countries.

By conducting research, reviewing statistics, and conducting interviews with nonprofit professionals, our goal has been to provide criteria for donors to decide where to direct their support.
