Philanthropy class donates
$5,000 to mentoring group
The seminar class decided
Committed Partners for
Youth should receive the
Wells Fargo-donated money
By Chelsea Duncan

Students in „ American Philan
thropy: The Science and Practice of
Giving Away Money, a freshman sem
inar, donated $5,000 to Committed
Partners for Youth on Monday.
In the seminar, students split into
groups and choose a nonprofit organ
ization to research throughout the
term. Near the end of the term, each
group presents its cause to the class
and the students chose where to do
nate the grant, which is sponsored by
Wells Fargo bank.
Freshman Zoe Monahan, who repre
sented Committed Partners for Youth,
said visiting and researching the organ
ization made it all worth it, even
though the class was a lot of work.
"I found that I care way too much
about our program," she said after
her presentation.
Committed Partners for Youth pro
vides mentors for at-risk middle
school and high school youth.
Monahan and her group members
told the class that the need for mentors
is increasing as state, federal and local
funds for the program are decreasing.
"1 didn't realize how much of an
impact just a teeny bit of money
could have," Monahan said.
When the class voted, Committed
Partners for Youth tied with Women
space, which provides services to bat
tered women and their children, but
the class opted to revote and not split
the money, Assistant Professor Renee
Irvin said.

After a tiebreaker vote, students in American Philanthropy decided Monday to donate
$5,000 to Committed Partners for Youth instead of Womenspace.
splashy girt, she said.
Irvin, who created the class last
year, said Committed Partners for
Youth was a finalist during last year's
class, but the organization didn't re
ceive the money. The funds went to
Start Making a Reader Today and
Greenhill Humane Society.
"It was pretty nice that they were
able to win this year," she said.
This year's other finalists includ
ed the Children's Miracle Network,
the Boys and Girls Club Inc. and
Looking Glass.
"They're all great organizations and
they would all benefit from this,"
Monahan said.
Freshman Josh Tschirgi, who repre
sented the Boys and Girls Club Inc.,
said he chose to vote for the Chil
dren's Miracle Network, which raises
funds for children's hospitals.
"They seem like they have one of
the biggest impacts on a child start
ing its life out on the right foot," he
said. "That's an incredibly impor
tant foundation."
He said overall he has learned a lot
about how to donate money wisely.
"I learned that there are literally hun
dreds of viable and worthy organizations
that could use philanthropic support,"
he said. "If I plan to be a financially suc
cessful person, which I do, I'll know
how to be a wise philanthropist."
Irvin said she hopes to continue
teaching the seminar, depending on
whether she can find a sponsor for
the $5,000.
"The class really needs the gift in or
der to make it work," she said.
On March 8, the students will pres
ent the donation to the organization
at a brunch also sponsored by Wells
Fargo bank.
"I have to hand it to Wells Fargo for
being so generous," Irvin said.
Irvin said aside from teaching stu
dents about the art of giving, the class
provides an opportunity for freshmen
to interact with each other in a small
er classroom setting.
"It's part of the freshman seminar
program, which is really the only op
portunity they have to take small
classes their freshman year," she said.
