The Philanthropy Boot Camp for Journalists is designed to engage a limited number of the country’s leading journalists in a program that will help them to navigate the complex web of rules that define the way that this sector operates. Offered by ɬÀï·¬ÏÂÔØ Law School’s Forum on Philanthropy and the Public Good, with the support of a consortium of funders, this day-long program will engage many of the nation’s leading experts on philanthropy and public policy in an important program certain to benefit a journalist’s work.
Philanthropy touches everything. Whether covering political candidates or business practices, or probing the workings of universities, the arts, scientific research or social support programs, philanthropy often comes into play as a defining element. As a result, a working understanding the rules governing the philanthropic sector can be the key to fully understanding the story. And, as American philanthropy now exceeds $300 billion each year, equal to 2% of the value of the GDP, philanthropy has become a powerful economic force yielding great influence in the fields of medicine, public policy, education and beyond.
ɬÀï·¬ÏÂÔØ Law's Forum on Philanthropy and the Public Good has hosted several journalist boot camps. View more information about our most recent programs:
