| Since 1989 the Center has offered a professional development International Fellows Program (IFP). The IFP, which has trained over 130 research/practitioners from more than 40 countries, has produced a series of studies on global community philanthropy, corporate social responsibility and diaspora giving. A number of these studies, as they explore how to create a culture of giving, may be of particular interest to U.S. practitioners. Beyond this, as U.S. populations grow more diverse with the significant influx of immigrant populations, a number of these studies provide snapshots of community philanthropy and civil society in diverse countries. Finally, a number of the studies examine diaspora giving. Remittance to developing countries, of which diaspora giving is likely an important, though unknown percentage, is estimated at a record $US 240 billion in 2007. A listing of, and abstracts for, these studies are presented below. Full text for selected volumes is available on request. |
