Penn’s Center for High Impact Philanthropy (CHIP) has served as a premier source of knowledge and education for donors seeking to do more good. CHIP’s annual high impact giving guide has been called “the single most useful guide to smart giving” and featured in the New York Times, NPR, Marketwatch, and Money.com. CHIP is currently seeking sponsors as it prepares its 2025 High Impact Giving Toolkit to be released at the end of 2024.

CHIP’s team applies CHIP research methodology and frameworks to produce the 2025 High Impact Giving Guide as a digital toolkit and downloadable PDF. All resources are available free to individual donors and professional grantmakers seeking to create greater social impact, providing your support to donors in the practice of high impact philanthropy.

Each section of the High Impact Giving Toolkit will include actionable guidance with decision-making considerations, illustrative case examples, and resources for applying the guidance. In the 2025 toolkit, donors and grantmakers gain free access to:

• Guidance on how to practice high impact philanthropy
• Profiles of nonprofits that use evidence-based strategies to support individuals, families, and societies
• An expanded guide to the four philanthropic plays for achieving social impact through philanthropy (i.e., direct service, system/capacity building, policy/advocacy, research/innovation)
• A closer look at emerging philanthropic topics (e.g., collective giving; guaranteed income and direct cash transfers; and nonprofit news and information)
• Webinar and explanatory videos featuring funders, nonprofit leaders, academic experts, and beneficiaries.

Sponsors at all levels will be acknowledged as follows:

• Your organization and logo featured in the digital toolkit, PDF, and public Launch Webinar outreach to more CHIP’s subscribers
• Your organization mentioned as a sponsor in media outreach; organizational collaboration regarding the development of press outreach and marketing materials around any relevant year-end giving campaigns, as well at the public webinar
• Invitation for your network and clients to the public Launch Webinar.

Additional sponsorship benefits are available at different levels. For more details, contact Kelly Andrews, Director of Knowledge Management and Marketing, kellyja@upenn.edu.
