A New Generation of Foundation Leaders Are Younger & More Diverse Having Risen Through the Ranks. An excellent new The Chronicle of Philanthropy cover story by Alex Daniels. Before reaching the top job, they filled out grantee reports. They shuttled to site visits to check on charities’ progress. They hired and fired staff. And many sat in front of foundation leaders, eager to secure a grant to get their nonprofits through the next year. In other words, they are intimately familiar with the daily grind of philanthropy. In addition to coming from nonprofits, the new group is younger and more diverse than their predecessors. Many of the new foundation presidents are from Gen X. More women also fill the top spot. And perhaps most notably, the percentage of private foundation leaders who are people of color has grown by 40 percent since the racial-justice protests of 2020, according to a survey conducted by the Council on Foundations.

“I was looking for a way to educate our entire Board of Directors on how to fundraise effectively and you delivered! You fulfilled your commitments with excellence and professionalism. I especially appreciated the many spiritual insights you shared, which often came in the stories about what the Lord has taught you over the years. I would recommend you and The FOCUS Group to any other faith-based nonprofits looking to strengthen their fundraising.” -Lyndon Becker, Co-Founder & Executive Director Shepherd 23:1 Inc.
