The Kresge Foundation’s Post

We are thrilled to announce that Anna Blanding and Linda Hill have been appointed to The Kresge Foundation Board of Trustees. Kresge Board Chair Cecilia Muñoz highlights the unique experience and skills our new Trustees bring to the foundation: “Anna’s career trajectory – from nonprofit endowment management to impact investing to economic and community development to philanthropy – is an impressive one. Her deep experience across these disciplines will be invaluable to the board as we continue to grow our philanthropic impact, endowment and community development investments. She has shown throughout her career a commitment to creating equitable communities and innovating the financial and impact investing sectors. Anna will be a critical voice as we think through how to invest and use financial tools for social good.” “Linda is a foremost expert on leadership, organizational management and innovation, and she uses her research and deep expertise in these areas to inform economic development and how to improve the lives of those who live in disinvested communities. For most of her career, Linda has focused on business and societal challenges that require systemic approaches and solutions, which is exactly the sort of perspective Kresge’s Board of Trustees seeks as we have always been a philanthropy focused on large-scale systems change. I very much look forward to Linda helping Kresge navigate how to become an even more effective organization.” https://lnkd.in/gK3M9kbK
