Hello! Welcome to our
student blog. Eileen, Lilian and I will be writing to you over the remainder of
the semester about our experience in PPD 371. The class is titled Non-profits
and the Public Sector and throughout the course we will have the opportunity to
give a grant from Learning by Giving to a nonprofit. However, it isn’t easy. In
our assigned groups, we have had to find common values that we can all agree
upon to guide our grantmaking process, then we will research nonprofits based
off of that and finally present the one we most want to receive it, present the
organization and the grant to our class, who will act as a board and we will
collectively vote on a nonprofit to receive the grant. We are given 10,000 and
could split it up if we want to, so that’s where it gets tricky. We decided as
a class to design our grants as if we get the whole grant, but we do have to
let our nonprofits know, that this may not be the case. A few weeks ago we were
given our group assignments and tasked to find a common value. Our greatest
value in my group, was opportunity. From there, we decided that we wanted to
give to a nonprofit in the education sector. Education is a broad term that can
encompass a vast number of organizations but we do believe that all of these
organizations will give opportunities to those they serve. have a paper due
this week that requires us to research three nonprofits that are intriguing to
us and I’m excited to see what my other group members come up with. Stay tuned
for more updates!
From this post it sounds like you and your class mates are very invested in the course. I'm excited to hear updates on how the class is going.
