Duke University's Center for the Study of Philanthropy
and Voluntarism was created in 1986 in order to provide such serious attention.
It is housed within the Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy, an academic
unit of the university that has an interdisciplinary research program
and offers a professional master's degree in public policy analysis and
management as well as an undergraduate major in public policy. The
Center has three major objectives: to support scholarly research on issues
related to philanthropy and voluntarism, to stimulate the exchange of
ideas and research findings among scholars and practitioners, and to encourage
the development of university courses in the area of philanthropy. Not
only does the Center support research by faculty, it also assists graduate
students in dissertation research, research connected to masters’ theses,
and free-standing research projects.
