Internationally known philanthropy expert Michael Chatman has named Indiana Philanthropy Alliance CEO Marissa Manlove one of America’s Top 20 Women in Philanthropy and Civic Engagement, a list of honorees that includes such well-known philanthropy leaders as Oprah Winfrey, Bette Midler, and Gates Foundation President Sue Desmond Hellmann. 

These twenty women were selected from a list of more than 400 nominees, and were chosen for their “philanthropic impact through the art of collaboration, and their ability to facilitate, to the highest degree, the free flow of information and innovation across sector networks to advance social change.”

“Money and endowment assets have nothing to do with our list,” said Chatman. “It is ... about social impact, advancing the overall philanthropic sector with strategy and thought-leadership.”

Manlove is also the newly elected Chair of the Board of the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers, an association representing more than 5,500 grantmaking organizations, making it the largest philanthropic network in the country.

The Indiana Philanthropy Alliance is a statewide nonprofit network of and for Indiana’s grantmaking community. The Alliance strives to champion, support, and connect its members as they transform Indiana through effective philanthropy.

The Community Foundation of Pulaski County is a member of the Indiana Philanthropy Alliance, and partners with IPA in its work to transform Indiana through effective philanthropy.
