Projects

The Do Good Institute’s inclusive and build-your-own path approach is centered around the understanding that all students have the capacity to do good in a meaningful way.

The University of Maryland is home to the nation's first Do Good campus and engages students from orientation to graduation in Do Good events, projects, courses and academic programs that help grow your knowledge, expertise and experience in nonprofit management, philanthropy, social innovation and civic engagement.

Our current programs include the following:

Share your social impact and compete for a chance to win a share of more than $20,000

Students from across campus spend the year advocating, fundraising, volunteering and developing solutions for pressing social issues. The Challenge culminates in a Finals event where six teams pitch their project or venture and the impact they've made for the chance to win a share of more than $20,000.
