Linda Brucker established “A Legacy of Giving” which aims to teach philanthropy to children as well as grow a generation of givers. Legacy teaches children through academic service learning to become effective community trustees, thereby setting the stage for philanthropic activity now and in the future.
Students learn what a community is, what a philanthropist is, how to research a social concern, how to advocate for others, how to run a service project, and how to analyze and reflect upon the results. Also, they are to be equipped with academic vocabulary words so they are familiar with terms such as “community” and “civic engagement” as well as discuss the difference between a “want” and a “need,” the meaning of “food insecurity,” and the many issues related to poverty.
