"I see philanthropy as a form of investing. While the bottom line is measured differently, it still involves allocating resources toward an activity organized around specific goals. But our involvement doesn't end when the box is ticked or the check is signed. We should expect results; we should know whether the goals are being met."

Leader. Collaborator. Visionary.
Caring. Compassionate. Extraordinary.
This is how Jeffrey Lewis, president of the Heinz Family Philanthropies, describes Teresa Heinz. And for good reason.
As chairman of the Heinz Family Philanthropies, Mrs. Heinz is a philanthropic innovator. She is a leader in the movement to approach philanthropy as enterprise—requiring accountability, leveraging resources, taking risks, and using collaborative responses to conquer complex challenges.
But she also cares deeply and passionately about empowering people. Whether it's her pioneering work on women's retirement security or designing strategies to help guarantee that every person over 65 has access to affordable prescription-drug coverage, Teresa Heinz is known first and foremost for her extraordinary ideas.
