The Montgomery Academy’s Philanthropy 101 is a summer program where selected seniors are challenged and taught how their own abilities and everyday actions can make a difference in their communities. The course was designed by the W. James Samford, Jr. Foundation and The Montgomery Academy. Within the program curriculum, students learn “how to analyze a nonprofit’s financial statement and learn how a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization operates.” The students do not earn school credit at the end of the course, but they are given a stipend that must be partly given to the nonprofit 501c3 organization of his or her choice. Throughout the beginning of the summer, the students travel to different nonprofits across the state like Camp ASCCA, Children’s of Alabama, Service Dogs Alabama and several more to help them confidently select an organization to receive a portion of their stipends.
