The Board of Trustees of National Philanthropic Trust (NPT), the
largest national, independent public charity that manages
donor-advised funds (DAFs), and one of the largest grantmaking
organizations in the world, is pleased to announce the appointment
of Holly Welch Stubbing as NPT’s new president and chief executive

board chair, National Philanthropic Trust. “She immediately
impressed our board with her decades of experience in the
philanthropy sector and her strategic vision. Along with her proven
leadership skills and organizational growth experience, Holly
excels at assessing an organization and identifying its future
needs to flourish. These skills, as well as her keen focus on
client service, will deliver long-term value for NPT.”
Welch Stubbing joins National Philanthropic Trust after serving
since 2017 as president and CEO of E4E Relief, a national
charitable organization offering emergency financial relief
programs for global companies and communities. E4E Relief has
awarded more than $260 million in emergency financial relief grants
in 120 countries since 2020, assisting individuals impacted by
catastrophic disasters and financial hardships. Prior to leading
E4E Relief, she worked for Foundation for the Carolinas, where she
led advancement, philanthropic services, investments, and legal
affairs. Together with the team, she grew the organization from
$180 million to nearly $4 billion in charitable assets.
She is an American Marshall Memorial Fellow of the German
Marshall Fund and has received the Charlotte Business Journal’s
Women in Business award and 40 Under 40 distinction. Welch Stubbing
was named one of the Mecklenburg Times’ 50 Most Influential Women
in Charlotte and recognized as the Charlotte Association of
Fundraising Professionals’ Fundraiser of the Year.
Welch Stubbing holds a Global Executive Master of Business
Administration degree from Georgetown University’s McDonough School
of Business, a Juris Doctorate from the University of Dayton School
of Law, and a Bachelor of Arts with honors in speech communications
and international studies from Wake Forest University. She is a
member of the North Carolina and Tennessee Bar Associations.
“In addition to Holly’s impressive credentials and inquisitive
mind, she is a wonderful human being,” said Myers. “She is
interested in people and is an interesting person. We see authentic
chemistry and partnership with NPT’s team and stakeholders. We are
proud to welcome her to NPT.”
Welch Stubbing’s appointment has been made following a robust
and competitive national search carried out by NPT’s Board of
Trustees in partnership with the leadership advisory and recruiting
firm Russell Reynolds Associates.
“Eileen Heisman’s vision and leadership, as well as her passion
for philanthropy, grew NPT into one of the largest grantmaking
organizations in the world,” said Myers. “On behalf of everyone at
NPT, I want to thank her for 27 years dedicated to NPT’s mission of
advancing charitable giving and setting the stage for future
accomplishments.”
