News Channel 10 reported on Binghamton University's Philanthropy Incubator. On Tuesday, the group donated around $12,000 to local nonprofit groups during a ceremony at the school's Downtown Center. The goal was to give grants for capital equipment that normally wouldn't find funding in tough economic times, such as flooring, software or fans.
The program is part of BU's master's program in social work and public administration and the students are the ones who actually approved the type and amount of the proposals.
"If they're going to have careers in public service or non-profit organizations, they need to know how to both apply for grants and how to give them out. And so this project gives them information about both of those things," said David Campbell, an assistant professor in the Department of Public Administration.This year's recipients included Catholic Charities' Portfolio Cafe, Racker Centers and the Huntington Family Center.
