IPA Graduates
Congratulations to the January 2025 graduating class of the Certified Impact Philanthropy Advisor Program!
Over the past 20 weeks, these 60 exceptional graduates—from 23 states and three countries—have immersed themselves in independent learning and collaborative discussions to deepen their fluency in philanthropic advising. They brought a wealth of experience as financial advisors, philanthropic consultants, nonprofit fundraisers, gift planners, and grantmakers from donor-advised funds and foundations.
A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated facilitators for fostering a space where advisors could connect, reflect, and grow together.
To all of our newly Certified IPAs: congratulations, and thank you for trusting us as your partner in growth, learning, and lasting impact.
