About the Philanthropy & Nonprofit Leadership Center

The Rollins College Philanthropy & Nonprofit Leadership Center was established to assist philanthropic organizations in fulfilling their missions. In its brief eight-year history, the Philanthropy Center provides educational programming, networking opportunities, consulting services and research to help increase the effectiveness of nonprofit organizations and enhance the professional experience of the dedicated people whom they employ.

The Philanthropy Center is a program of Rollins College Roy E. Crummer Graduate School of Business. Founded in 1885, Rollins College has earned a national reputation for academic excellence both at the graduate and undergraduate level. In 2007, Rollins placed first among regional colleges and universities in the South in the U.S. News & World Report annual ranking of “America’s Best Colleges.” Most recently, the Roy E. Crummer Graduate School of Business was ranked number thirty-seven nationally for its full-time MBA program and first in Florida by Forbes magazine. BusinessWeek ranked the Rollins MBA part-time program number twenty-three in the nation and number one in Florida.

The Philanthropy Center’s certificate programs for nonprofit managers, staff and volunteers and its courses in board development and nonprofit governance are taught in the Bush Executive Center on the Rollins campus. Its offices are located at 200 E. New England Avenue in downtown Winter Park.
