Student teams in a management of nonprofit organizations class in the Naveen Jindal School of Management produced funding proposals to support the Alliance of Elite Youth Leadership (AEYL) in McKinney, Texas. “This is as close to a real exercise as the students could possibly get.”Redeker explained to the students the importance of helping young people who participate in AEYL programs. Teams researched their chosen programs and visited with AEYL’s staff to learn about the nonprofit’s impact. “They learn just how competitive the nonprofit fundraising landscape is,” he said. “And they learn how to measure the efficacy of philanthropic dollars and if those dollars are making an impact, because those dollars are scarce.”
