Support Philanthropy 101 AND Your Favorite Local Charity

Join OHS Wall Street 101 students in making a positive impact by supporting Philanthropy 101. Choose one of three participating local charities that resonates with you and your gift will support that charity and the Philanthropy 101 program.

Philanthropy 101 was founded in 2014 by Oakwood Schools Foundation Trustee Joel Frydman. After a decade, the competition continues to inspire Oakwood students to consider the impact and importance of charitable giving. In mid-November, Juniors and Seniors enrolled in Wall Street 101 at Oakwood High School split into groups to learn about local area philanthropies through interviews and site visits. In 2023, students selected five local nonprofit organizations for in-depth study and analysis - Clothes That Work, For Love of Children, Families of Addicts, Maple Tree Cancer Alliance and Victory Project.

This year's participating charities are: BOGG Ministries, Brigid's Path, Shoes 4 The Shoeless, and With God's Grace Food Bank.

For the class final, students present to a group of community judges. Cash awards for organizations are determined based on these final presentations and your donations. This program has a lasting impact on students and seeks to foster the spirit of charity and philanthropy.

OSF deeply appreciates ongoing financial support from the Angela & Joel Frydman Family, Johnson Investment Counsel, Jessup Wealth Management, and The Dayton Foundation.

Your Support Makes a Difference - Give the Gift That Gives TWICE.

Donor support is instrumental in facilitating the program and determining the financial awards available to be granted to the participating nonprofits. By supporting Philanthropy 101, you nurture the next generation of philanthropists among Oakwood Schools students and directly benefit local charities. This program is a bridge between education and community service, fostering a culture of giving and social responsibility.
