Sage Society
Sage Society members have made gifts to the Center totaling $10,000 or more over the course of their giving history. Inspiration for this group’s name comes from The Way of Lao-tzu:
“The sage does not accumulate for himself.
The more he uses for others, the more he has for himself.
The more he gives to others, the more he possesses of his own.”

The Fund Raising School Excellence in Programs, Initiatives and Training Endowment
The Fund Raising School Excellence in Programs, Initiatives and Training Endowment at the Center on Philanthropy will help nonprofit organizations understand effective ways to tap the wellsprings of giving and volunteering in order to fulfill their missions. TFRS’s future will be enhanced by strengthening faculty recruitment and training, by translating research into the “best practices” taught in existing, new, and contract courses, by making training accessible to more practitioners in new ways, and by helping the public better understand the context and solutions for the issues that arise in fundraising. Gifts were received through June 30, 2010.
