Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership

The Program

Whether as an entrepreneur, a problem-solver or a community mobilizer — you want to be part of building a better world. You take your work and its contributions seriously. You naturally gravitate towards big challenges where the payoffs are great.

The nonprofit and philanthropic sector, one of the largest in the Canadian economy, needs people like you. In the midst of tremendous change, it needs a fresh wave of professionals with a distinctive set of skills to push boundaries, innovate and make change.

Our Graduate Diploma or Master of Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership will prepare you for positions of responsibility working in or with the sector. Through a combination of a summer institute and intensive, online courses, you’ll learn how to strengthen your organization and collaborate with governments and businesses to find workable, ethical approaches for addressing complex contemporary issues.
