Graduate
Walter Dillingham, who serves as managing director for endowments and foundations at Wilmington Trust, researched religious-based fundraising for his master’s thesis in philanthropy at NYU. His particular focus was on diocesan foundations and charitable giving by Catholics. Walter’s work was cited in a February article written by Catholic News Service and subsequently published in Catholic news outlets; it also was covered last year in a story, “Fast Growing Catholic Foundations Manage $4.6 Billion,” on Pensions & Investments Online.
