Ellen Dorsey, a veteran of the anti-apartheid movement, has used her activist experience and her leadership position at the Wallace Global Fund to push for divestment from the fossil fuel industry.
The Wallace Global Fund has supported the fossil fuel divestment movement from its inception. By 2021, the movement had propelled divestment of over $14 trillion in assets from universities, pensions cities, faith groups and more.
Dorsey launched Divest Invest Philanthropy, a coalition of over 200 foundations to divest their endowments from fossil fuels and invest in climate solutions. She says foundations can still do more to invest their endowments in climate solutions, and shouldn’t be “hoarding acorns” in this “moment of urgent need.”

But Williams (above) has also been working hard to
promote racial and gender equity as she builds her own team at America’s Promise Alliance. She was more determined than ever to do that after she encountered bias as chief development officer at the Red Cross chapter that serves the Washington metropolitan region.
Not only was she concerned that the organization’s fundraising tactics had been designed by white people to work for white people, but the critiques of her leadership style seemed to be based on prejudice, she told my colleague Eden Stiffman. First she was described as too aggressive. When she took a different tack, she was told she lacked leadership skills and wasn’t competent.
As need rises, so does call for private foundations to up payouts
