Formed in October 2008, the Practical Issues in Philanthropy Study Group (PSG) at Harvard Kennedy School’s Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations brings together students, researchers, faculty and practitioners to explore contemporary issues, controversies and challenges within philanthropy. The monthly meetings feature practitioners and researchers working in the sector. Topics include the growth of philanthropy globally, the rise of new funding and management approaches, questions around accountability and the role of intermediary organizations, and the relationship between philanthropies, the state and the private sector.
The group is convened by Steven Lawry, a Senior Research Fellow at the Hauser Center, and a Midcareer Fellow in Philanthropy at the Hauser Center. For more information about upcoming and past meetings, visit the Hauser Center online here.
