Teaching the Art of Giving . . Local philanthropists Steve Knight and David Baker created the Philanthropy Club Foundation to help children learn about the art of giving by supporting local nonprofit organizations that provide important services to the community. Over the past 18 months over 500 third grade students have participated in the project. These students have made gifting decisions of over $8,000 to 12 nonprofit organizations.
