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 Wharton Initiative on Financial Policy and Regulation
The Wharton Initiative on Financial Policy and Regulation at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania organizes the efforts of business scholars — at Wharton and beyond — who are interested in creating knowledge at the intersection of law, finance, and public policy. Through commissioned white papers, academic conferences, dialogues with policymakers, and student-run organizations, the initiative works to put the business school’s traditional strengths in finance into a richer intersection with the policy discourse aimed at improving society.
