Let's reimagine

Our Story

The Edyth Bush Institute for Philanthropy & Nonprofit Leadership (EBI) is a Center of Excellence at Rollins College's Crummer Graduate School of Business. We connect and strengthen nonprofit and philanthropic organizations through inspiring educational experiences designed to increase the effectiveness of board governance, enhance the business practices of nonprofit organizations, and expand the influence of the nonprofit sector.

Born out of the Edyth Bush Charitable Foundation's workroom, the Philanthropy & Nonprofit Leadership Center was established, and renamed in 2015 as the Edyth Bush Institute for Philanthropy & Nonprofit Leadership.
