Lisa Paulsen is the current President and CEO of the Entertainment Industry Foundation. Lisa Paulsen is President and Chief Executive Officer of the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF), a charitable organization representing the collective philanthropy of the television and film businesses. Under Lisa Paulsen’s leadership, EIF’s annual charitable giving has grown from $1.8 million to more than $100 million.
The Entertainment Industry Foundation is a major force in the fight against cancer, raising critically needed dollars for research and treatment, fast-tracking the most promising science, and generating awareness. Lisa Paulsen is a co-founder of Stand Up To Cancer. This new EIF initiative raises philanthropic dollars to accelerate ground-breaking cancer research and bring new therapies to patients more quickly in order to end cancer's reign as a leading cause of death. Harnessing the power and influence of the media, many of the world's most renowned entertainers offered their full support for an historic, nationally-televised program, simultaneously broadcast live and commercial-free on ABC, CBS and NBC. More than $100 million was raised during this one hour telecast which aired on September 5, 2008.
EIF’s National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance, co-founded with Katie Couric and Lilly Tartikoff, has been credited for the dramatic 20 percent increase in colonoscopy screenings and the colon cancer death rate is declining significantly. EIF-funded research has led to a new, highly reliable and non-invasive screening test for colorectal cancer and isolated one of the genes that may cause colon cancer, opening up doors for new research.
