The School of Continuing Studies is offering a noncredit Institute on Philanthropy. Participants will be able to focus on learning strategies for increased productivity in philanthropy for the 21st century. They will have the opportunity to emerge from this program with tools for more efficient and effective job performance through hands-on experience in the courses taught by leading philanthropic practitioners in the metro Richmond area. An overview course, required for those with less than five years of experience in fund raising, will count as an elective. Those pursuing the certificate program need to complete an initial application with the School of Continuing Studies.
All philanthropy courses are open to any interested person.
A curriculum brochure and certificate application is available upon request. Course offerings will vary by semester.
