Sillerman Center For The Advancement Of Philanthropy

Category

: Education

Description

The Center’s Generous U Initiative is a national contest celebrating philanthropy and charitable giving on U.S. college campuses. Student groups, clubs, and organizations are invited to compete for the $10,000 Sillerman Prize and the Generous U title. A runner-up prize of $2,500 will also be awarded. Applicants should demonstrate their success in engaging a substantial number of peers in charitable giving; increasing philanthropic awareness and culture of giving on campus; creating both a sustainable model for their group to thrive and using funding received in a sustainable manner so that people or organizations they give back to also thrive over time. Applicants should also have demonstrated the development of a model that can be adopted on other campuses. Student groups, clubs, and organizations including Greek Life associations (fraternities and sororities) may compete in Generous U if they are formally recognized by the college or university and chartered to accept the Prize as an organized entity. Application guidelines and additional information can be found on the Web site.
