The Center for High Impact Philanthropy (CHIP) was founded to help philanthropists make the biggest difference possible with their charitable investments. Over a decade later, the Center has earned a reputation as the premier academic research center dedicated to teaching how to analyze social impact and invest in high impact philanthropy opportunities.
CHIP’s Funder Education Program builds on over ten years of helping funders and grantmakers worldwide achieve greater social impact. Our week-long campus program is for grantmakers, foundation trustees, foundation executive directors/CEOs and other philanthropic leaders who are eager to create more social impact with their giving. The ideal participant has ongoing direct experience with philanthropy.
CHIP’s inaugural Advising for Impact certificate program is designed to lay the foundation for professionals seeking to incorporate social and philanthropic impact into their wealth advising practice. Successful students will be professionals who manage client resources and serve in a strategic advisory capacity to their clients, including wealth advisors and staff at family offices and private banks.
The Center for High Impact Philanthropy (CHIP)’s team members teach and lecture in courses at the School of Social Policy & Practice, Wharton, and the Perelman School of Medicine, among others.
