The Big Dog Endowment, created by TLU alums Dave Sather and Carol Klages, is designed to teach effective altruism and the business of philanthropy at the same time. Each semester, students participating in the program divide into teams and do extensive research on worthy causes around the world. Their goal: to figure out where funds channeled from the endowment can have the biggest positive impact. Teams present their ideas at an event known as Philanthropitch, and a group of judges evaluates the presentations, selecting one standout—and then $25,000 is put toward that cause.
