Lilly School to Evaluate Youth Philanthropy
The Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy has developed an original survey research instrument that will provide data on the effectiveness of youth philanthropy education programs which use curriculum developed by the Three Pillars Initiative (TPI). Designed by Dr. Patricia Snell Herzog, Melvin Simon Chair and Associate Professor of Philanthropy at IUPUI, the research will use a before-and-after methodology in which student participants, parents and community foundation staff will complete an online survey about their experience in the program.
The Future Philanthropists Program, the maiden program launched in 2010 and sponsored by the Oak Park-River Forest Community Foundation in Illinois, is expected to begin using this instrument. . .
