Center for High Impact Philanthropy

The Center for High Impact Philanthropy (CHIP) is a trusted source of knowledge and education to help donors around the world do more good. Founded in 2006 as a collaboration between the School of Social Policy & Practice and alumni of the Wharton School, it is the premier university-based center focused on philanthropy for social impact.

In areas as diverse as closing the achievement gap in the U.S., effective disaster relief, and major global public health issues such as malaria and child mortality, the Center translates the best available information into actionable guidance and educational programs for those looking to make the greatest difference in the lives of others. Put simply, success to us means moving more money to do more good.

Our multidisciplinary team’s work is characterized by a focus on social impact, an approach that leverages the best available information, and a commitment to making our applied research available and actionable for a wide-range of impact-focused funders through guidance and our High Impact Philanthropy Academy.
