Strategic Philanthropy 2018

Our class is excited to announce that we have chosen our finalist to receive our grant. This well deserving organization has been notified and is very pleased. However, our class is keeping it a secret to the rest of the public until we reveal the recipient at our grant giving celebration at 4:00 p.m. Monday April 30, 2018. We are all truly thankful for the experiences this class has given us and we are ecstatic to finally give this grant!

Our topic is Human Trafficking, so we asked Dr. Warner what her thoughts were on our topic. Then we asked students why they care about Human Trafficking.  Check out their responses below!!

Since the class is coming to an end very soon, we asked our students and our professor Dr. Lora Warner about the class and how it has made an impact on them!  Here are their responses!!!

These past two weeks, our class has gone on site visits to our three finalists: Green Bay Area Public School District, Eye Heart World and Brown County Family Services. During these site visits, we have learned more about their proposed plans for our grant and seen the places where the grant will help. These organizations do great work in the community of Brown County and we thank them for their hard work. But now it's our turn to get down to business. Beginning today, we will be making the decision for our grant. We are excited to get started! 

It has been an exciting few weeks in our class! After releasing our Request for Proposal, we waited in anticipation for the proposals that we would receive. After the April 2nd deadline, the class received four different proposals to look over and review. After much research, discussion, and deliberation within the class, we narrowed the proposals down to the top three. The top three proposals have come from Eye Heart World, Family Services, and the Green Bay Public School District. Currently, we are in the midst of doing site visits and will be finishing up with our last visit on Wednesday. Our class is grateful for all of the organizations who submitted proposals and have shown that they are dedicated to combating the issue of human trafficking in our area. Information and pictures from each of the site visits will be posted later this week. You will not want to miss our next post, as it may reveal key information that we have learned from each of the organizatio
