And of course, we all benefit from Sommerville's many years of experience and wide knowledge of the field, and are inspired by his enthusiasm and great trust in the human condition.
Although well into the semester, Sommerville says that he will still accept new enrollees, as the class is largely informational and interactive, and doesn't rely on a step-by-step building of information.
On Thursday, Feb. 8, we will be meeting for an educational tour of the San Francisco Foundation, a source of all grants-if you have a cause, you can probably find a source there.
The course is called "Introduction to Philanthropy," given by the Sociology Department, code L1568. If you'd like to join the class and would like information about the tour on the 8th, please give me a call at (510) 464-3550.
Also, being in the class, if you have any good ideas to share about where you think these dollars should go, I and the class would love to hear about them. You can reach Bill Sommerville at his Philanthropic Ventures office in Preservation Park at (510) 645-1890.

Philanthropy is the act of donating money, goods, services, time and/or effort to support a socially beneficial cause, with a defined objective and with no financial or material reward to the donor. (Continued…)

Bill Sommerville's project through his own philanthropic Foundation, is a very commendable! Especially when it addresses the most serious problems of working parent/students and parents who can't afford daycare so that one parent needs to stay at home while the other works in the office.
