Description
Few scholars devote themselves to the study of philanthropy, and even fewer of them apply academic research to analyze today’s philanthropic and nonprofit sectors. However, without investments into humanities-based approaches to philanthropic research, business- and management-oriented studies will continue to dominate in scholarship on these sectors. Based at the Urban Institute, the Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy believes that historical inquiries into philanthropy and nonprofits can uniquely guide best practice. With Corporation support, the center will grow its project on the history of philanthropy, encouraging nuanced studies of how philanthropy has impacted and can continue to impact social change. The center will forge links between scholars and practitioners across different fields and disciplines who share an interest in philanthropy.
