Centre for Philanthropy offers MA in a Day taster

The University of Kent’s Centre for Philanthropy is offering a free taster of its MA in Philanthropic Studies. The MA in a Day taster offers a day’s worth of lectures to watch, further reading suggestions, and additional resources across five topics: Fundamentals of Philanthropy, the Art and Science of Philanthropy, Volunteering and Society, Major Donor Fundraising, and Working with Donors and Supporters. The Fundamentals of Philanthropy topic, for example, includes a lecture on Philanthropy and the Human Condition by guest lecturer Prof. Michael Moody of the Johnson Centre for Philanthropy, Grand Valley State University, USA, with reading including a section on ‘What is Philanthropy?’ from The Philanthropy Reader, edited by Michael Moody and the Centre for Philanthropy's Dr Beth Breeze. Topic two, The Art & Science of Philanthropy, includes a lecture of The History of Fundraising’ by Dr Beth Breeze, with suggested reading featuring a piece by the University of Kent's Dr Lesley Alborough on the need to stop viewing fundraising as a separate function.   https://twitter.com/UKCPhilanthropy/status/1246082975923609600 The offer can be accessed on the Centre for Philanthropy’s site.     The full course is the UK’s first Masters in Philanthropic Studies.
