Georgetown Students Award $31,000 to Local, Global Nonprofits

April 27, 2010, Press Release — A new sociology course, “Philanthropy and Social Change,” lived up to its name this spring when its students decided to distribute $31,000 to nonprofit organizations.

The course came about after Kathy Kretman, director of Georgetown’s Center for Public and Nonprofit Leadership, received a call from the Sunshine Lady Foundation, a private family foundation established by Warren Buffett’s sister, Doris.
