Boston College’s Centre for Irish Programmes in the USA is offering 14 places on
a week-long study visit to the United States on the topic of ‘Philanthropy and Community
Development.’

The all expenses paid study trip will take place at Boston College and Phoenix, 
Arizona in January 2011 and is open to individuals in Ireland who are decision-makers
in grantmaking bodies, micro-financing organisations, community development bodies
and relevant government bodies from Ireland, north and south.

Study visits will examine private philanthropy, endowment management, board membership
and emerging areas of under-funding.
