Freshmen award $10,000 to nonprofits - News: "University student Elizabeth Perry thinks many people don't pay a lot of attention to ex-convicts. In fact, she thinks more people should support former prisoners and their capacity to change. That's why she decided to select Sponsors, Inc., a nonprofit organization that helps ex-offenders integrate back into society, to receive grant money.
Perry and her classmates, who are enrolled in the University's Freshman Seminar in American Philanthropy, gathered together Monday to award $10,000 to two Eugene nonprofit groups. The recipients were Sponsors, Inc. and the Relief Nursery, Inc., an organization that provides family preservation services for low-income families. Throughout the term, said course instructor Paul Elstone, students in the seminar narrowed down a list of possible nonprofit candidates, finally granting these two groups $5,000 each,"
