Case Studies

In collaboration with leading business schools, The Giving Back Fund is preparing case histories on some of the most successful celebrity philanthropists.

We will make these case histories about best practices in celebrity philanthropy available online to help guide up-and-coming celebrity philanthropists, as well as others in the philanthropic, sports, and entertainment communities.
