  • Mission [1]
    • The Center on Philanthropy increases the understanding of philanthropy and improves its practice worldwide. Philanthropy encompasses formal and informal voluntary association, voluntary giving, and voluntary action and thus is a powerful force in shaping all societies. The Center on Philanthropy is committed to knowledge creation, dissemination and education for engaged community volunteers, donors, nonprofit leaders, fundraising executives, policy makers, students and scholars. The Center’s programs support the development of professionally trained practitioners and scholars, resulting in more efficiently and effectively operated nonprofits and nongovernmental organizations, more engaged volunteers and donors, and increased and effective philanthropy in the United States and globally.
