Darren Walker, the outgoing president of the Ford Foundation, will become the next president of the National Gallery of Art. Chosen by the gallery’s board of trustees, Walker said he intends to expand private fundraising for the museum, which gets 75 percent of its budget from federal funds. He said he sees art’s power to teach empathy as essential to creating a more just and equitable society. (Washington Post)
Background from the Chronicle: How Ford’s Darren Walker Reimagined Philanthropy and Foundation Leadership
A small Washington, D.C., abortion fund faces an existential crisis over its unfolding reaction to the war in Gaza this past year. The D.C. Abortion Fund’s sole Jewish employee resigned last year amid tension over whether and how to react to the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel and Israel’s military response. After the former staffer took her story public, donors started pulling their contributions en masse, and the nonprofit’s chief fundraiser said it will eventually have to begin turning away people seeking help to pay for their abortions. It is a conflict that has repeatedly played out over the past year in progressive nonprofits that see a duty to condemn injustice and abuse whether or not it is directly related to their missions.
