Historical Background/Study Guides
 

The Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society, with support from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, has created a series of 14 curriculum guides to encourage the study of multicultural philanthropy. The guides examine the ways in which various gender, ethnic, cultural, religious and racial groups use their gifts of time, money, and talent. They reflect the ways giving and voluntarism are embedded in American life and challenge the notion that philanthropy is the exclusive province of elites.

               

The guides include discussion topics, research questions, and literature overviews with annotated bibliographies. They were developed both to integrate the study of philanthropy into the curricula at colleges and universities, and to provide a tool to nonprofit professionals in the area of development and fundraising. Each volume provides background information on a selected community that will help practitioners work effectively with these groups.
