SPEA - School of Public and Environmental Affairs

To stimulate broader participation in corporate in-kind donation programs, SPEA and Good360 (formerly Gifts-in-Kind International) are collaborating to identify reliable measures of the impacts of product philanthropy on non-profits. Professor Lisa Blomgren Bingham and Cindy Hallberlin, CEO of Good360, are leading the project.

Investigators are currently using the Framing Hope partnership between Good360 and The Home Depot Foundation as a research base, focusing on:

• the organizational effects on the non-profits receiving and managing donations,
