Student-Led Collective Giving Impacts Local Nonprofits

In my latest podcast, I chat with Mandy Sharp Eizinger, Educator at Grand Valley State University and Program Manager at the Johnson Center for Philanthropy, who leads an innovative course that focuses on collective giving and volunteerism. Hear how her own experience leading fundraising efforts for UNICEF sparked a desire to incorporate the concept of collective giving into her college program. Discover how her students, through experiential learning, gained new insights into the role of nonprofits, social movements, policy, and volunteers in social change. See how her students transformed concepts to real-world impact by setting up their own Grapevine giving circle, researching areas of need, identifying relevant nonprofits, raising funds, and donating those funds to the winning organization. Learn how students transformed their attitude toward giving, amplified their individual impact to help local communities, and expanded their perspective, making giving an integral part of their lives.  Hosted on Acast.
