Funding Divides: How American Philanthropy Fostered (and Perhaps Could Heal) Social Tension
Thursday, March 9, 2023
Online Event

6 PM New York l 12 AM Vienna6:00 pm – 7:30 pm EST/GMT-5
The Bard Center for the Study of Hate invites members of the OSUN community to attend a discussion by Lila Corwin Berman (Temple University), author of The American Jewish Philanthropic Complex: The History of a Multibillion-Dollar Institution. It’s a fascinating tour of how the Jewish philanthropic world developed, the relationship between communal goals and legal structures, and changes to philanthropy over the decades.
In this talk Berman will discuss how, in its ideal form, American philanthropy in general (not just Jewish philanthropy) serves the public good, but in practice it has often bred social, economic, and political divisions, even creating opportunities for hate. She will explore the historical development of this tension and asks what role philanthropy might play in reinvigorating a broad and capacious vision of the public.
