Advancing Nonprofit Professionals

Welcome to Rice University’s Center for Philanthropy & Nonprofit Leadership. We envision a vibrant philanthropic culture in Houston and around the world, where individuals of all ages and means are inspired to give and to serve, and where nonprofit leaders—both professional and volunteer — have access to the highest quality of educational resources to support their work.

Our mission is to increase the effectiveness and impact of the nonprofit sector by providing education and nurturing leadership among professionals and those who support the work of nonprofit organizations.

We intend to unite theory and nonprofit sector experience in our courses, so students can learn from professors and seasoned practitioners. Our courses prepare nonprofit professionals to lead their organizations and strengthen their communities. Fundraisers acquire best practices to secure resources; board members and volunteers learn to serve more effectively; and donors learn to give wisely.

We realize these goals seem grand, but most goals regarding education and philanthropy are grand. As the Center grows, we will look to collaborate with our Rice University colleagues and to partner with other nonprofit institutions to advance our understanding of philanthropy and nonprofit leadership. We know this will require support from the community, but we have a deep appreciation for the power of individuals coming together to make a difference in the world.
