Overview
The Center for High Impact Philanthropy was created in 2006 as a collaboration between alumni of the Wharton School of Business and the University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy and Practice. The Center continues to establish itself as a core source of good analysis about nonprofit performance and impact, primarily for donors and philanthropic advisors. The Center anchors its work around the question, How do I do the most good with the money I have to give? It engages in three primary activities: independent analysis of issue areas and individual nonprofits (i.e., U.S. education reform, global health issues such as malaria, and disaster response), programming offerings for donors and advisors, and field-building efforts (i.e., courses for undergraduate and graduate students, serving as a trusted source for journalists and providing speakers at field conferences and related events).

Grants to this Grantee
for a landscape scan and analysis of teacher pre-service education programs and the teaching workforce
The University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education partners with schools, universities, and communities to expand educational access – especially for those underserved by society. In the wake of the pandemic, the teaching profession is facing a profound set of challenges in both recruiting and retaining teachers. Given the crucial role of teachers in supporting student academic and social-emotional development, efforts to rethink how we best recruit, prepare, and retain public school teachers are of paramount importance. This grant will support research to provide a landscape analysis of the current state of the teaching profession with the goal of formulating recommendations around preparing, recruiting, and retaining teachers who can empower and equip each and every student to reach their full potential and contribute to our diverse, multiracial society.
