| Since
1989 the Center has offered a professional development
International Fellows Program (IFP). The IFP, which
has trained over 130 research/practitioners from
more than 40 countries, has produced a series of
studies on global community philanthropy, corporate
social responsibility and diaspora giving. A number
of these studies, as they explore how to create
a culture of giving, may be of particular interest
to U.S. practitioners. Beyond this, as U.S. populations
grow more diverse with the significant influx of
immigrant populations, a number of these studies
provide snapshots of community philanthropy and
civil society in diverse countries. Finally, a number
of the studies examine diaspora giving. Remittance
to developing countries, of which diaspora giving
is likely an important, though unknown percentage,
is estimated at a record $US 240 billion in 2007.
A listing of, and abstracts for, these studies are
presented below. Full text for selected volumes
is available on request. |
