OUR HISTORY
About our partnership with The Learning By Giving Foundation
The Learning by Giving Foundation (LxG) partners with 35 colleges and universities across the country to teach effective giving and distribute grant funds to high-impact nonprofits.
In a LxG class, the coursework is focused on experiential learning, where students determine how to make an impact in their community through a rigorous, semester-long grantmaking process. Under the guidance of their instructor, students research community needs, conduct due diligence, and determine how to distribute real grant dollars to effective nonprofit organizations in their institution’s backyard.
​
The Human Services Program at the George Washington University has partnered with Learning By Giving for 6 different semesters. Over this time, 168 students have awarded $62,000 grant dollars.
