University of Notre Dame rising senior and Constitutional Studies minor Bobby Spence secured $50,000 in funding for Corvilla, a nonprofit that provides life-enhancing services to people with disabilities, at the Philanthropy Lab’s 2024 Ambassadors Conference in Fort Worth, Texas, in June.
Spence's efforts began in a CCCG-sponsored course called Philanthropy and the Common Good taught by Jonathan Hannah, assistant director for operations at the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture. As expalined in the Notre Dame News article linked below, the course "offers students the opportunity to engage with local nonprofits while learning about the history and role of philanthropy in the U.S."
