==Nielsen Chair in Philanthropy==
"In 2000, the Center and GPPI received a $3.5 million challenge grant from the [[Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation]] to establish the Waldemar A. Nielsen Chair in Philanthropy. The Chair honors Waldemar A. Nielsen, a former Rhodes scholar and foreign affairs writer for The New Yorker and Harper’s. Nielsen was involved in the design and implementation of the [[Marshall Plan]], served on the staff of the [[Ford Foundation]], and later led the [[African American Institute]]. He is perhaps most well known for his pioneering study of philanthropy, which provided a critical assessment of foundations and called the field of philanthropy to a higher level of accountability.
"The Nielsen Chair supports an annual visiting practitioner or scholar at the Center who contributes to the Georgetown community as a professor, researcher and thought-leader on the critical issues facing the field of philanthropy. Current and past chairs are:" <ref>[http://cpnl.georgetown.edu/pages/waldemar_a._nielsen_endo.cfm Nielsen Chair in Philanthropy], Center for Public and Nonprofit Leadership, accessed May 22, 2008.</ref>
