tufts partner fraternities philanthropy community involvement

shared by Daniel Benoni on 12 May 11 - No Cached
  • Last month, Tufts Inter Fraternity Council, made up of representatives from all the fraternities on campus, launched a partnership with Tisch College to strengthen their capacity to have a positive and constructive impact on campus, in the local area, and in the global community.
  • As I worked on that and heard about the fundraising and volunteering that other fraternities were doing I started thinking about the impact we could have through collaboration
  • philanthropy summit for organizations to share fundraising resources and tips, and found that other fraternities were looking for ways to collaborate as well
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • each of the ten fraternity chapters on campus agreed to sign on and to collaborate on a philanthropic endeavor this semester and in the future
  • all fraternities will collaborate philanthropically around an agreed upon theme, sharing resources and co-sponsoring fundraising events together
  • Because fraternities at Tufts are already so busy with their individual chapter philanthropic activities, it was initially challenging to get all the chapters to sign on
  • However, once everyone came to the understanding that this was not intended to be a burden but rather a supplement to their ongoing activities, things began to develop well.
  • ollaboration really has great potential for better utilizing our manpower to maximize the effect we can have
  • hopes the partnership will help change some of the stereotypes about fraternities.  “While the point of this project is to increase the philanthropic activity of chapters, it is also very much to improve recognition of the philanthropic work chapters have been doing for a while now,
  • reek chapters participate in or host multiple philanthropy events a semester and the campus doesn't always hear about them, so by bringing all of the chapters together it is hoped that awareness of fraternity charitable activity will increase.
  • that people often have misconceptions about fraternities and don’t hear about the good work fraternities do - even though that is the bulk of what they are about. “I actually came to Tufts partly because I thought it didn’t have a strong Greek presence, which was something I really wasn’t interested in,” he explained.  “But when I got here I found positive role models in upperclassmen fraternity members and I was particularly impressed with the goals of Delta Tau Delta.

  • Flash forward to 2011, and philanthropy is the new black. Everywhere you turn, people are spending a few months abroad to build a school
  • volunteering at the blood bank in the evenings after they finish their 9-to-5 job. Everyone has a cause
  • This nouveau philanthropic righteousness is definitely making the world a better place and is empowering a generation to believe that they, as concerned citizens of the world, can make a difference to global issues

  • Why now?
  • what's with the boom in charity work in recent years?
  • candidates for medical school are becoming more and more qualified right out of university. With great grades and amazing recommendations, it can be hard to differentiate yourself from the pack. Enter philanthropy.
  • It adds some much-needed clout to your character and shows you can commit yourself fully to a project and see it through until the end.
  • Bus ads, billboards and online banner announcements all broadcast the latest causes to hit the scene. Perhaps all this good karma talk has seeped into our collective subconscious minds and led us to believe that the only way to live a worthwhile life is to include a little do-gooding in our daily activities.
  • the most important factor at play when it comes to philanthropy: the pure, selfish, unadulterated sense of warmth and happiness that comes from knowing that you've just used your valuable time to help someone who's not you
  • we've all started realizing that helping other people is just another way of helping yourself.
  • classic debate over whether or not there is truly a selfless good deed that one can partake in, because no matter what altruistic endeavor you're undertaking, you are still selfishly reveling in every little good vibe and pat-on-the-back that comes your way as a result of your labor.
  • behind every good charity organization, there stands an army of amazing volunteers. So, here's to all you karma junkies, altruism enthusiasts and kindness fanatics out there. Consider yourselves all cyber high-fived, because the work you're doing is actually making the world a better place.

This social layer based on philanthropic interests is both an easy way to track causes and a positive way to self identify.

philanthropy popularity contest corporate

shared by Daniel Benoni on 12 Jul 11 - No Cached
  • Corporations have, not surprisingly, turned their marketing lens to the social networks, and they're running their corporate giving programs like a race for prom king.
  • the neediest and most in need of charity -- are not always those with the loudest voice.
  • There's another advantage for Chase to hand out money this way: they're splashed all over your Facebook news feed as good-hearted bankers with whom you might just want to do business. But are these dollars solely devoted to helping charitable organizations, or are they just another way of advertising? A multi-billion dollar corporation shouldn't be allowed to write-off advertising as a charitable contribution.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Too often, it's the popular kid, and not the most deserving one, who wins. This type of giving poses definite ethical questions. That corporate marketing divisions are using social responsibility as a way to boost the bottom line is the least of these. The aforementioned $200,000 is actually but a part of the $5 million Chase claims to have donated
  • Non Profits who serve them would rather write a grant and be evaluated by program officers (who hold expertise in specific giving areas) than waste time running in a popularity contest.
  • Those in charge of allotting corporate, shareholder dollars to charitable organizations have an ethical and fiduciary obligation to uphold best-practices when giving.

  • he Resource Center will also include a spotlight section for successful non-profits and a success stories app where Facebook will showcase best practices and try to build a community around shared stories and advice.
  • The resource center is clearly meant to provide non-profits tools, but it’s also a sign that Facebook is taking social good seriously. Facebook has been a home to online philanthropy for some time, but it is not the only game in town.
  • t’s important from a business perspective to establish Facebook as a hub for non-profits online, but ultimately the cause — and social good — should come first.
  • The page has already raked in more than 410,000 Likes and only seems to be growing. Has social good hit the mainstream? Should more companies create resource centers?
