In total, The Graduate Center enjoys a faculty of over 1,600 and a student body of over 4,500.

In order to tap into the critical mass of scholars studying a range of topics relevant to philanthropy and civil society, CPCS holds seminars, conducts collaborative research projects and offers fellowships. The aim is to institutionalize the study of philanthropy and civil society and to broaden their scope within the social sciences and humanities.
