February 12, 1998 | Read Time: 1 minute
Eighteen educational institutions will receive a total of $12.5-million from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation to expand the study of non-profit groups and improve the training of non-profit professionals.
The 18 grants, which will be distributed over five years, went mostly to universities that already offer academic programs on non-profit activities, such as Indiana University-Purdue University in Indianapolis and Yale University in New Haven, Conn. Other grants are going to institutions that support non-profit work, such as American Humanics in Kansas City, Mo., which trains college students to work for youth or human-service organizations.
All of the grant projects aim to either expand research about the non-profit world or to improve the training of charity profession als.
