Proteus Fund owes a great debt to current and past Board members who have done so much to bring our organization to where it is today. And we’re very excited about the progressive leaders recently voted onto our Board, given their diverse backgrounds, focus areas, and geographic locations.
Together our Board members bring an incredible array of skill sets and networks, enabling us to enhance our current social justice work as well as new work we plan to tackle in the future.
Please join us in welcoming the two newest members of our Board and in congratulating the Board’s two new officers. Take a few moments to review their brief profiles below, and click to learn more. As they each bring their talents and perspectives to Proteus Fund, we can say with certainty that this force for progressive social change—and philanthropy’s critical role in that change—is as formidable as ever.
We are also thrilled to note that our 501(c)(4) affiliate, Proteus Action League, has appointed three new Board members as well. For more details on these talented individuals, visit proteusactionleague.org.
Sincerely,
Paul Di Donato
President & CEO, Proteus Fund
