Welcome to the Philanthropy and Civil Society Blog

What does it take to do good, well?  What does it take to make good giving decisions?  Is it possible to make bad giving decisions? How can I make the most difference with the money I have to give away?  How can I make the most positive difference in the Binghamton community? 

We will ask these and other questions this semester.  No doubt, you will sometimes leave class and wish you had shared an idea that came to you during the class discussion.  Other days, something important may occur to you days after a class discussion.  This blog is the place to have conversations outside of class.  Its goal is to contribute to your learning and make it possible for you to continue your conversations after you leave class.  Use it as a a resource to contribute to your learning and your growth as a class over the course of the semester. 

I look forward to your discussions hear and to learning from them!

My Changing Perspective on Philanthropy

By
Because this is one of the last blog posts for our class, I considered discussing our final donation decisions, possibly lamenting over the lack of funding for Meals on Wheels of Western Broome. However, as this class comes to an end, I think there is much more that we can take away than just our final decisions. Specifically, I want to talk about how this class has affected my view of philanthropy and how it will change the way I spend my time and money in the future. A couple of weeks ago I went to “Casino in the Woods,” an annual casino night that College in the Woods Council puts on in order to raise money for charity. I am not much of a gambler and generally don’t like the addictive nature of games designed to make you lose money. But since all of the proceeds were going to charity, I figured that the money I would ultimately lose at the event would be for a good cause. However, as the night went on, I couldn’t stop thinking about the implications of this...

Life After Philanthropy and Civil Society

Life After Philanthropy and Civil Society As our semester is coming to a close, we will all be departing our own ways and heading towards our exciting summer plans.   As I graduate Philanthropy and Civil Society, I am still left with many questions in my mind: Did we donate our funds to the right organizations? Did we explore every avenue possible in our research? Was the decision voting process even fair in the first place?   As many of these questions will go unanswered, it is crucial to always remain positive.   Of course we made the right decision, and we have all worked countless of hours in research in an effort to ensure our decision was perfect.   Not everyone may have gotten what they wanted, but the decision was made by all of us as a collective unit.   But now what?   Do we all just move on in our lives and forget about the inspiring journey we spent together?   The answer to this question is no.   Majority of...

Mo Money Mo Problems

By
Congratulations to all of us for a successful awards ceremony and a good job to all of those who helped to present the awards. I know for most of the semester we all anticipated our work done after the final vote and the ceremony. That's not the case anymore. We're very lucky to have been given the extra $2,000 but with this money, comes more decision making. It was during our final votes on operating and programming grant that discussion of spreading the wealth was brought up. Many had advocated for TruthPharm to receive the operating grant, but after they already reviewed the programming grant, many flipped their decisions to ensure that the ACA also received a grant. Now that we have this extra money, will we continue to stick to our view that we should spread the wealth, or would the class be open to donating to one of the final recipients again. While $2,000 is much less than $7,500 and could possibly be seen as supplemental money, it almost matches the price of the op...
