About The Center on
Philanthropy and Public Policy
The Center on Philanthropy and Public Policy
promotes more effective philanthropy and
strengthens the nonprofit sector through
research that informs philanthropic decision
making and public policy to advance community
problem solving. Using California and the West
as a laboratory, The Center conducts research on
philanthropy, volunteerism, and the role of the
nonprofit sector in America’s communities.
In order to make the research a catalyst for
understanding and action, The Center encourages
communication among the philanthropic,
nonprofit, and policy communities.
This is
accomplished through a series of convenings and
conversations around research findings and policy
issues to help key decision makers work together
more effectively to solve public problems and to
identify strategies for action.

Jean Case is an actively engaged philanthropist, investor
and a pioneer in the world of interactive technologies.
Her career in the private sector spanned nearly two
decades before she and her husband, Steve Case,
created the Case Foundation in 1997. A passionate
believer in all things digital and the amazing potential
of technology to change the world for the better, Jean
and her team focus the efforts of the Foundation around
many of the same entrepreneurial approaches she and
Steve cultivated throughout their business careers.
The Case Foundation is recognized for its leadership in
leveraging new technologies and applying innovative
approaches to increase giving; catalyzing civic and
business participation; and promoting innovation,
collaboration and leadership in the nonprofit sector.
Jean and Steve joined The Giving Pledge, started by
Bill Gates and Warren Buffett in 2010, and publicly
reaffirmed their commitment to give away the majority
of their wealth to fund worthy charitable causes. The
same year, they were named to Barron’s “25 Best Givers”
list. In 2013, Jean was named a finalist for the “Most
Admired Nonprofit CEO” award by the Washington
Business Journal, which in 2011 named her Corporate
Philanthropist of the Year. The National Conference on
Citizenship (NCoC) also honored Jean and Steve as the
2011 Citizens of the Year. In 2014, Jean was conferred
an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from
Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.
Prior to co-founding the Case Foundation, Jean spent her
career as a technology executive in the private sector.
As a senior executive at America Online, Inc. (AOL), Jean
directed the marketing and branding effort that launched
the AOL service, directed the communications strategy
for taking the company public, and helped establish
AOL as a household utility. Before joining AOL, she held
strategic marketing positions at GE’s Information Services
Division and at The Source, the nation’s first online service.
Jean has served in two appointed roles leading strategic
public-private efforts, including the President’s Council
on Service and Civic Participation, to which she was
appointed as Chair by President George W. Bush, and as
Co-chair of the U.S.-Palestinian Partnership. She serves on
the National Geographic Society Board of Trustees, as well
as on the boards of Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure (ABC2),
SnagFilmsandBrainScopeCompany,Inc. Shealsoserveson
the advisory boards of the Harvard Business School Social
Enterprise Initiative, the Stanford Center on Philanthropy
and Civil Society, Georgetown University’s Beeck Center
for Social Impact & Innovation, the Brain Trust Accelerator
Fund and the U.S. National Advisory Board to the Social
Impact Investing Task Force (SIITF) established by the G8.
