  • Actual funds
  • Formalized, collaborative process

Why Students Learn: My Experiences

  • Taught experiential philanthropy since 2006 and brought the program to

Indiana University.

  • Conducting research into student learning outcomes with Julie Hatcher

and Elijah Howe.

  • My course…
  • Write a mission and vision and release a “request for proposals” each year.
  • Work together to vet applications, conduct site visits and finalize their

grants.

  • Group decision on making the grant.

What Students Learn: Research

  • Students in Mayerson program affirmed that they had

increased:

  • Awareness of nonprofit organizations: 95%
  • Awareness of social problems: 90%
  • Sense of responsibility to help others: 89%

(Ahmed and Olberding 2007/2008).

  • Another study showed that alumni of the program continued to

give at higher rates than there age. There is selection bias in these results.
