Please take 8 minutes of your time to view this outstanding video produced by Portland Community College's Campus Compact Students4Giving Project. This video captured an entire semester of work completed by a Non-Profit Grant Making class taught by Lead Business Instructor Cynthia Killingsworth.
The work involved student fundraising that was matched by dollars from the PCC Foundation, development of funding priorities and criteria that were used as the basis for solicitation of grant proposals, grant review and a ceremony awarding grants to successful applicants.
I have yet to see a more successful approach in teaching students about the value of making a contribution to the community and the challenges of making funding choices.
Please join me in thanking PCC and the Students4Giving Program in setting a such high leadership standard for community giving and Living United.
