The Urban Philanthropic Fund fosters collaboration between the for-profit and nonprofit sectors by cultivating a new generation of professionals who can leverage their expertise in finance, management, and philanthropy to drive positive social impact and sustainable change in their communities.

The Problem

 1 

Generating wealth and creating a positive social change are often seen as mutually exclusive goals.

2

Smaller nonprofits lack resources and expertise to assess their initiative outcomes.

3

There are limited chances available for students to delve into the intersection between the for-profit and nonprofit sectors.
