Heyman Center Expands Master's Program

Despite the economic crisis, the nonprofit sector has seen an increased need for well-rounded professionals trained in fundraising and grantmaking. In response, the George H. Heyman, Jr. Center has expanded its master’s program to offer advanced opportunities for professional growth and training through concentrations in both fundraising and grantmaking.

The M.S. in Fundraising and Grantmaking provides an opportunity for current and aspiring fundraising professionals, foundation staff members, and individual donors to hone their skills in New York City, one of the world’s most vibrant philanthropic communities. Through a timely curriculum of scholarly and practical coursework, students explore the history, philosophy, and fundamentals of fundraising; strategies for effective giving; grant evaluation; legal and ethical issues; and more.
