Would you like to become a social change agent and leader? Consider applying to Columbia University School of Social Work.: COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK/The New York School of Philanthropy /it is one of the largest social work programs in the United States/

The New York School of Philanthropy was established in 1904. The School had its origins in 1898 with the first Summer School inPhilanthropic Work offered in New York City. It was the first higher education program in the United States to train people in the field ofsocial work. It began as a six-week summer program offered by the New York Charity Organization Society. Initially the program was more like a workshop than a college course.
In 1904, the program was expanded to an eight-month course of full-time graduate study at the newly renamed New York School of Philanthropy. Soon after, it was expanded to a two-year graduate program. To ensure cooperation with Columbia University, its president was made an ex-officio member of the Society's committee responsible for the School's affairs.
The New York School of Philanthropy changed its name in 1917 to the New York School of Social Work. The New York School of Social Work operated until 1963. It was fully merged into Columbia University as the Columbia University School of Social Work.
The Columbia University School of Social Work is a professional program within Columbia University. With an enrollment of over 900, it is one of the largest social work programs in the United States. It is also the nation’s oldest, with roots extending back to 1898, when the New York Charity Organization Society’s first summer course was announced in The New York Times. The combination of its age and size has led to the School becoming a repository for much of the reference literature in the social work field.
The School of Social Work has five offices that assist students with their field assignments, registration, financial aid, and academic needs, and another five offices that provide resources on writing, computing, research, student life and careers

Cooperating Collections are free funding information centers in libraries, community foundations, and other nonprofit resource centers that provide a core collection of Foundation Center publications and a variety of supplementary materials and services in areas useful to grantseekers.
A key initiative of the Foundation Center is to reach under-resourced and underserved populations throughout the United States and in other locations around the globe, who are in need of useful information and training to become successful grantseekers. One of the ways we accomplish this goal is by designating new Cooperating Collection libraries in regions that have the ability to serve the nonprofit communities most in need of Foundation Center resources. We are seeking proposals from qualified institutions (e.g. public, academic or special libraries, nonprofit resource centers, community foundations, United Ways, etc.) that can help us carry out this important initiative.
