Sharon Ravitch has received a grant from ERFIP (Empowering Families for Innovative Philanthropy), which is funded by the Edmond de Rothschild Foundation in Geneva. Dr. Ravitch will work with Dr. Reima Shakeir, who will serve as a post-doctoral fellow for 2019-2020, on the development of case studies of eight family philanthropies as a way to assess this model of frontier philanthropies as a development gap- filler within and across the Global South.
