Is Philanthropy in your future?

It may already be a part of your life.  Have you ever built houses with Habitat for Humanity? Given blood to the American Red Cross? Donated clothes to Goodwill?  Ever think doing “good work” would lead to a meaningful career?!

At the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, our “typical” student is anything but typical.  We’re looking for students who want to turn that good work into professional work in one of the economy’s fastest growing fields.

Our graduate degrees offer a unique blend of challenging liberal arts study and hands-on experience that prepare you for a successful career as a nonprofit manager, fundraiser, program director, community leader, or scholar.
