Fireside Chat with Darren Walker

Event Description

We are proud to be co-sponsors of the Conversations on Diversity series with Santa Clara University’s Silicon Valley Executive Center. Please join us in the fourth part of the series, Fireside Chat with Darren Walker, President of the Ford Foundation. This event is FREE and open to the public.

Under Darren Walker’s leadership, the Ford Foundation recently became the first nonprofit foundation in US history to issue a $1 billion social bond in the US taxable bond market to increase grantmaking to stabilize and strengthen nonprofit organizations in the wake of COVID-19. Join us as he and Fr. Kevin O’Brien, President of Santa Clara University, discuss our social responsibility as leaders to strategically challenge inequality.

The Ford Foundation is a $13 billion international social justice philanthropy that believes that fundamental inequality is the defining challenge of our time; one that limits the potential of all people, everywhere.
