Eileen R. Heisman, a lecturer in the master’s in Nonprofit Leadership Program at Penn’s School of Social Policy and Practice, was named a 2019 Non Profit Times Power & Influence Top 50. The award recognizes industry executives who have made an impact to the charitable sector during the past 12 months. This is the sixth time Ms. Heisman, who is president and CEO of National Philanthropic Trust based in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, has been recognized by the publication. According to the publication, she received the award because “donor-advised funds have become more controversial in some quarters. The challenge is a flood of money goes in and drips of cash come out. Ms. Heisman is making the clearest arguments about why these are going to become a more vital giving tool, particularly in nations where organized philanthropy is a new concept.”
