The NYU Center for Philanthropy offers a wide variety of courses in grantmaking. The courses are targeted for philanthropists, those who work in grantmaking organizations, and attorneys and wealth managers who work with funders. This is the largest and most developed program of its kind in the world, offering individual courses, a full certificate, specialized workshops for families, and a summer full- week intensive. Students come from throughout the United States and elsewhere in the world. We are proud to have been associated with this program since its inception in 2001.
