Eileen Heisman, an accomplished global CEO, board member, and philanthropic leader with nearly two decades of experience at the helm of the National Philanthropic Trust (NPT), joins the Center for High Impact Philanthropy (CHIP) as a senior fellow.
As a senior fellow, Eileen will bring her expertise on charitable giving and global philanthropy as well as her deep relationships with global financial institutions, donors, and advisors to CHIP.
Along with CHIP’s founding executive director, Katherina Rosqueta, she is co-designing and teaching a course in the School of Social Policy and Practice of the University of Pennsylvania’s Nonprofit Leadership program in the Fall of 2025. The course, Private Resources for the Public Good: Advanced Topics in Philanthropy, will examine topics such as social justice & trust-based philanthropy, the growth of DAFs, LLCs, and other structures for giving, and collective giving.
Eileen will also help the Center to launch its inaugural cohort of Advising for Impact, a certificate program that will teach philanthropic advisors to use high impact philanthropy with their clients.
