Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership
About this Research Theme
Philanthropy – the use of private resources for public purposes – is an important complement to the work of governments and an essential means of building inclusive, resilient communities. Nonprofits provide a wide range of services that our society depends upon; they enable citizens, as volunteers and members, to engage with each other; and they serve as advocates for social change. Research in this area focuses on the effective management of philanthropic and non-profit organizations.
