DEEP WITHIN. —Psalm 51:6 (CSB) Concordia University Dance Marathon Raises More Than $20,000 for Children’s Hospital Concordia University Dance Marathon (CUDM), a student-led on-campus organization, raised $20,461 at its fifth annual Big Event, bringing its five-year fundraising total to $83,622. Although they had to rethink the event due to COVID-related restrictions, the students’ tireless fundraising efforts allowed this year’s total to rival the last few pre- pandemic years. The culminating event of the Dance Marathon season, the Big Event is just one small piece of the diligent fundraising that CUDM participates in over the course of the year. The money is raised for the philanthropy department of the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and goes toward new books, toys, instruments, the hospital’s annual Prom event, and anything else that gives the children who stay at Lurie’s an escape from “patient life.” “As a program that has so heavily relied on face-to-face interactions in the past, it was definitely a challenge to get people excited through limited contact and countless emails. But the team God provided could not have been more suited for this challenge!” says Jesse Muehler, junior at Concordia-Chicago and executive director of CUDM. 6 CUC Joins Council for Online MBA Programs and Best Online honors as an individual to go along with Graduate Education Programs. her team’s success.

  • Harvard Kennedy School Professor Megan Ming Francis SPRING 2020
    DPI-367: Philanthropy & Social Movements: Will the Revolution Be Funded? Harvard Kennedy School Professor Megan Ming Francis SPRING 2020 I. COURSE OVERVIEW We are at a zenith of philanthropic giving. Foundation assets have grown to well over $800 billion today. As a result, there has been an explosion in private charitable foundations and innovative donor initiatives. For the most part, philanthropy is celebrated. Individuals give away their wealth to worthy causes and help to steward significant social change. But this grandiose narrative belies a much more complicated story—especially as it pertains to the funding of progressive and conservative social movements. What happens when the interests of funders and grantees clash? This course will examine the history and future of philanthropy’s relationship with social movements. Some questions this course will take up include: What is philanthropy’s responsibility to supporting radical social movements? What are useful strategies for funders to confront their privilege in grantmaking? What does movement co-optation look like? How can grantees guard against the deleterious influence of well-meaning funders? To what extent can philanthropic investments remedy entrenched structural inequality? And what is the impact of funders on democratic governance? II. COURSE GRADING & ASSINGMENTS You will be graded for the course based on the following criteria: 15% Class Participation (including class activities) 35% 5 Weekly Writing Responses 400-500 words 15% Autobiographical Professional Statement, 1000-1200 words 35% Final Podcast Assignment III.

(Dania Maxwell / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images) Introduction A fist raised in solidarity for George Floyd. (Clay Banks) In a tragic year that witnessed injustice and violence against communities of color and our democracy, along with an unprecedented global health pandemic, Proteus Fund focused our efforts on bringing people and communities together in the critical fight forward. Through our donor collaboratives—Piper Fund; Rights, Faith & Democracy Collaborative; and RISE Together Fund—we responded with: • Nimble grantmaking that supported a critical coalition for judicial independence in Pennsylvania; • Consulting expertise and grantmaking that created significant non-partisan civic engagement of Black, Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian voters; • Funding for gender justice advocates in New Mexico as neighboring states used the pandemic as an excuse to cut off access to abortion and other reproductive health services; • Proteus Fund’s first-ever post-election convening of funders and movement actors that assessed opportunities and challenges on social justice issues in light of November’s elections. (You’ll learn about many of these efforts in the pages that follow.) In 2020, we worked hand-in-glove with activists and allies on the ground advancing social justice.
