This book was released on 2003-01-10 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue focuses on the current state of teaching of philanthropy to youth and the curricula being written to accomplish that goal. Fostering lifelong skills in fundraising, donor skills, volunteerism, and civic participation in today's youth is the key to creating tomorrow's philanthropists. With an overview of ongoing research and key philanthropic concepts in existing curricula, chapter authors explore future implications of current trends. They examine the Council of Michigan's effort to incorporate philanthropic practice into their state-mandated public school core curriculum; the partnership between professional fundraisers and the educational system approved by the New Jersey Department of Education; and Indianapolis's Habits of the Heart project. Other crucial topics addressed include faith-based organizations and their role in the transmission of philanthropic values; ethical fundraising and the fundraising experience for youth; and the dual role of philanthropic studies programs in higher education. With a mission to promote the development and implementation of philanthropy teaching programs at every level in every community, this issue is an invaluable resource for educators and philanthropic organizations alike.

This book was released on 2011-05-17 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From gifts of blankets, chickens, and candles to multimillion-dollar gifts and billion-dollar campaigns, voluntary support of American higher education has been part of the American ethos since the founding of the colonial colleges. Peter Dobkin Hall in 1992 noted that "no single force is more responsible for the emergence of the modern university in America than giving by individuals and foundations." Institutions are turning to private giving to meet budgetary demands. This book provides a review of the philanthropy and fundraising literature and addresses the impact of philanthropy on American higher education, the theoretical under-pinnings and motivations for voluntary support, and a comprehensive look at the mechanics of fundraising.

Book excerpt: The introduction of innovative social paradigms that stress community-participation, community-focused empowerment, assets, social and economic justice themes, and in the case of youth, civic participation, represents one of the outcomes of this questioning and bodes well for current and future generations. The subject of how best to address the current and future health needs of this country's urban marginalized comunities is one that has also received considerable attention in academic, policy, and practice arenas in the past decade. A variety of models have been put forth to achieve the goal of health in these communities. One of the most promising recommendations has been the use of health promotion as a vehicle for reaching and empowering communities of color in both rural and urban America. The youth-led environmental justice movement, as it will be addressed in various sections of this book, is one of the latest and most promising approaches towards health promotion that is grass-roots and community participatory based. Youth-led health promotion represents an emerging field with tremendous implications for addressing the health needs of marginalized urban youth of color in the United States.

Book excerpt: Shaping Tomorrow’s World tells the crucial story of how futures studies developed in West Germany, Europe, the US and within global futures networks from the 1940s to the 1980s. It charts the emergence of different approaches and thought styles within the field ranging from Cold War defense intellectuals such as Herman Kahn to critical peace activists like Robert Jungk. Engaging with the challenges of the looming nuclear war, the changing phases of the Cold War, ‘1968’, and the growing importance of both the Global South and environmentalism, this book argues that futures scholars actively contributed to these processes of change. This multiple award-winning study combines national and transnational perspectives to present a unique history of envisioning, forecasting, and shaping the future.
