The RGK Center for Philanthropy and Community Service in the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas seeks to build knowledge about nonprofit organizations, philanthropy and volunteerism, and prepare students and practitioners to make effective contributions to their communities and countries. Through its activities in education, research and engagement, the Center expands a regional academic base for studying the policies and practices affecting nonprofits and for contributing to national and international debates about the future of the sector. RGK Center initiatives emphasize collaborative approaches and international perspectives to foster research and dialogue across fields and across borders.
