Philanthropy: Volunteerism, Fundraising, and Community Engagement examines the role of volunteers and philanthropy as vital to the success of nonprofit organizations. Different from the profit and public sector, the nonprofit sector is built upon the good deeds of volunteers and the private financial support of individuals. Students will have the opportunity to develop basic knowledge and skills in how nonprofits recruit, secure, and retain volunteers and financial contributions through a study of the art and science of this important work.
