BUSA 770 - Advancement, Fundraising and Philanthrophy for the Nonprofit

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Business Administration

Description:

This course will examine the timeless subject of philanthropy, beginningwith its Judeo-Christian roots, tracing its development through history, and culminating with research findings in contemporary philanthropy. Historical analysis of the role of money and giving in society will be balanced with a view of modern philanthropic developments. Challenges to voluntarism and philanthropy will also merit our attention. The aim of our study, debate, interaction, and reflection will be to engage the hearts, minds and souls of those on whom our institutions depend-the philanthropists-in order to find a commonality of vision that extends shared wishes and dreams. The domains, structure, and competencies of the modern development office will be explored and practiced.
