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).
