The UPS Foundation makes grant to support Nonprofit Studies Program
at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies

March 7, 2007

The UPS Foundation recently made a grant of $100,000 to support scholarship in the Andrew Young School’s growing Nonprofit Studies Program. This support provides a tremendous boost to the program’s ability to recruit strong students and to expand its knowledge development and service work on behalf of the nonprofit sector. 

The UPS Foundation, under the direction of long-time AYSPS board member Evern Cooper Epps, has been a steadfast supporter of the mission of the Andrew Young School and the Nonprofit Studies Program.  The UPS Foundation pursues its initiatives by identifying specific projects where its support can help produce a measurable social impact.

“We are naturally thrilled to be the recipients of this support,” said Dennis Young, director of the Nonprofit Studies Program and the Ramsey Professor of Private Enterprise, “and we treasure our long standing relationship with The UPS Foundation.”  

The mission of the Nonprofit Studies Program is to educate the next generation of nonprofit leaders, to foster research on nonprofit leadership and policy, and to bridge theory and practice in the creation and dissemination of knowledge about nonprofit organizations.
