Stanford PACS Introduction to Effective Philanthropy for Advisors

The Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society (PACS) is a global interdisciplinary research center focused on improving philanthropy, strengthening civil society, and addressing societal challenges. The Effective Philanthropy Learning Initiative (EPLI) at Stanford PACS conducts research, develops resources, and teaches classes and workshops (such as this one) to help donors and their advisors to implement more effective strategic charitable giving. EPLI has an interdisciplinary team of academics and social impact practitioners working at the intersection of philanthropy, the behavioral sciences, and design thinking to accelerate learning for donors, advisors, and others in the nonprofit and donor-support ecosystem.
