History
The Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy is dedicated to improving philanthropy by training and empowering students and practitioners to be innovators and leaders who create positive and lasting change in the world.
Building on the foundation of its precursor, the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, the school encompasses, enhances and expands all of our existing academic degree, research and training programs, including The Fund Raising School, Lake Institute on Faith & Giving, the Women's Philanthropy Institute, the Mays Family Institute on Diverse Philanthropy, and International Programs. The directors of these programs are continuing in their current roles.
The school's roots in the humanities and social sciences remain central to our work. We will also engage and collaborate with Indiana University's expansive network of faculty and programs focused on philanthropy and nonprofits. This includes current and new partnerships with our colleagues in the IU School of Liberal Arts at IU Indianapolis, the Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs at IU Indianapolis and in Bloomington and other university colleagues.
