TOP5O THE NONPROFIT TIMES POWER & INFLUENCE ’09
VOLUNTEERING AS A FASHION STATEMENT
NPT Power & Influence honorees
show how community service can power a nation.
Service is the new black. It’s so fashionable that those leading the national service movement have packed the catwalk of The 2009 NPT Power & Influence Top 50. Whether it’s military conscription, stipended service or traditional volunteering,
community building is the core of the sector these days.
Of course, a trashed stock market and worldwide recession have much to do with how the charitable sector operates, making those volunteers all the more valuable.
Executives who mobilize the masses for good and who manage their resources while blazing a path for others to follow make up the Power & Influence honorees this year. Executive turnover in the sector is evident in the list.There are 18 executives making their P&I debut this year and one executive returning after a few years, the largest turnover during the 12-year history of The NPT Power & Influence Top 50.
Making selections to The NPT Power & Influence Top 50 is not scientific. It’s based on nominations from editorial staff of The NonProfit Times, its contributing editors, suggestions from former nominees and a few selected, plugged-in people. It’s also intended to ensure that most disciplines within the sector have a representative. For example, this year the selections were weighted toward public service but the vital technology segment of the sector is also represented.There were more than 250 nominees this year,which is routinely the case.
In this 12th annual NPT Power & Influence Top 50, we celebrate some of the sector’s top executives and thinkers. These executives were selected for the impact they have now and for the innovative plans they are putting in place to evolve the charitable sector.We also offer a roll call of the executives who have shaped this listing and the sector in the Hall of Fame section.
The P&I honorees will be feted for their work at The NPT Power & Influence Top 50 Gala next month at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. It will be a night of high-level exchange between executives who can move a nation.
Behold, for here is The NPT Power & Influence Top 50, Class of 2009. Download article PDF.
Fred J. Ali
President & CEO
Weingart Foundation
Los Angeles, Calif.
Ali transformed the foundation’s funding to be more responsive
to economic needs. He boosted and promoted grants for
operating expenses even in the face of his own
organization’s endowment dropping.That’s leadership.
Diana Aviv
President & CEO
Independent Sector
Washington, D.C.
There is no longer any doubt that Independent Sector is
back as the key go-to policy shop on charitable issues
in Washington,D.C., and it’s because of Aviv.
Elizabeth Boris
Director
Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy, Urban Institute
Washington, D.C.
The work of Boris and her team during the past decade has
led the way in making the nuts and bolts of nonprofits more
transparent to civilians.The data has highlighted patterns of
operation and governance, pushing managers to be more
efficient and transparent. It’s hard to deny the numbers.
Paul Brest
President
William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
Menlo Park, Calif.
He’s become a leading outcomes thinker – both for the charity and
the donor. He wrote in his blog:“A philanthropist has every reason to
ask whether it (a charity) has a sound strategy and a good track
record as well as good leadership.The alternative is to sow hundreds
of seeds without ever finding out which take root and flourish.”
John M. Bridgeland
President & CEO
Civic Enterprises
Washington, D.C.
Bridgeland lives and breathes public service.
He was at the center of the national service movement before
it was cool. He’s smart, strategic, has worked at the highest
levels of government and the charitable sector and has the ears
of those who can help him make the most difference.
Michael Brown
CEO & Co-Founder
City Year, Inc.
Boston, Mass.
City Year was the blueprint for the federal AmeriCorps program.
It has put more than 10,000 members into communities and the
Boston concept has been replicated in 18 cities across the nation.
Brown was a key leader in the ServiceNation event that pushed both
major presidential candidates to add national service as a priority.
Kelly Browning
Executive Vice President
American Institute For Cancer Research
Washington, D.C.
As chairman of the Direct Marketing Association,
and having gone up the ranks through the nonprofit side
of the organization, he is a key policy influencer when
it comes to fundraising and regulation of it.
Sharon Burns
Chief Information Officer
John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation
Chicago, Ill.
Information technology is now driving charities and funders
and Burns is one of the leaders when it comes to integration.
She maintains and develops business information technology
strategies that align with program and foundation goals on the
efficiency and effectiveness of internal business process.
Geoffrey Canada
President & CEO
Harlem Children’s Zone
New York, N.Y.
In a 97-square-block area of what was once the toughest neighborhood
of New York City, Canada has created a national model of
catching kids at birth and nurturing them through obtaining a
college degree. He understands rate of return on investment on
social outreach and devised a pipeline of services that are envied.
Emmett Carson
President & CEO
Silicon Valley Community Foundation
Mountain View, Calif.
He could sit on his more than $1 billion in assets but he chooses
to challenge conventional thinking. Carson sees this economy as an
opportunity to redefine the social contract between philanthropy
and the communities they serve.“This is our moment,” he said in a
recent interview. He’s right.
Jean Case
Chief Executive Officer
The Case Foundation
Washington, D.C.
Case realizes that measurement tools change as you move across the
sector and the foundation’s funding shows that she means it. One of
a growing number of CEOs who regularly Tweet on Twitter, she uses
instant technology to point to ideas for lasting solutions that are too
often overlooked when having to deal with the here and now.
Kathy Cloninger
Chief Executive Officer
Girl Scouts of the USA
New York, N.Y.
Being open to ideas isn’t a cliché with Cloninger’s Girl Scouts,who
not only asked members, but also boys and men, about how the organization
could be better. Cloninger is leading both an organizational
rebranding and in an era of online social networking, a tech revolution
for girls, while not forgetting that leadership is also face to face.
Robert Egger
Founder
D.C. Central Kitchen
Washington, D.C.
He’s looking for ways to re-engage the vital and often forgotten
middle mangers who are stuck between an organization’s need for
process/outcome measurements and the energy, idealism and
impatience of the newest team members.And, he’s involved in just
about every civic engagement movement.
Israel L. Gaither
National Commander
Salvation Army
Alexandria, Va.
Gaither defines leadership as “serving others with integrity.” He believes
that 21st century leadership is not telling people what to do,
but working in partnership with them.The SA under his leadership
has done more outreach to secular organizations to get the job done.
Brian Gallagher
President & CEO
United Way of America
Alexandria, Va.
It is not possible to transform an organization more than
Gallagher has done at the United Way of America. It is once again
a force for change on a national and local level.The fundraising
behemoth has an agenda for change that is flexible by community
and the national office has proved to be nimble at getting it done.
Bill Gates
Co-Founder
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
Seattle,Wash.
The kid who has the ball generally gets to pitch and set the pace
of the game. Gates is the philanthropic community’s leading funder
whose organization makes grants to what is immediately needed
but has always thought about the future and building the
charitable infrastructure.And, he’s not afraid to play Big Foot.
Peter Goldberg
President & CEO
Families International
Milwaukee, Wisc.
A collaborative dealmaker,Goldberg oversees six different entities, four
of which are under a unique corporate structure that allows for one
parent company, allowing financial independence of each organization
while creating an environment that encourages collaboration.The
groups involve more than 360 child- and family-serving organizations.
Charles Gould
President
Volunteers of America
Alexandria, Va.
Gould is a partner that other nonprofit CEOs trust. It’s a prime
reason affordable housing is getting built in the Gulf region.VoA’s
“Coming Back Home”is creating more than 1,000 units of affordable
rental housing and has partnered with other nonprofits through
Katrina Aid Today to touch the lives of nearly 200,000 people.
John H. Graham IV
President & CEO
ASAE & The Center For Association Leadership
Washington, D.C.
Graham could spend all of his time advocating on Capitol Hill
for his members. Sure he opens doors, but his mantra is good
governance via accountability and transparency. His leadership
has led many organizations to scrutinize their governance practices
in an effort to protect the public’s trust in the sector.
Robert Greenstein
Founder & Executive Director
Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
Washington, D.C.
Respected on both sides of the political aisle, he is widely viewed as
an unbiased, authoritative expert on a range of fiscal policy and
poverty issues, and his work has helped improve the economic
outlook of millions of America’s poorer citizens.With the
massive federal debt, his analysis is more vital than ever.
Steve Gunderson
President & CEO
Council on Foundations
Arlington, Va.
Gunderson is standing up for the diversity of organizations
as regulators and some in the sector attempt to devise
mandates that just don’t work for all groups. He has
called a single set of measures to strengthen
philanthropy and the nonprofit sector unrealistic.
Stephen B. Heintz
President
Rockefeller Brothers Fund
New York, N.Y.
Heintz has toiled in the social and economic reform field his entire
life and is one of the few who really understands that, in his words,
increasing global interdependence explains why U.S. philanthropy is
a “primary source of risk capital for social change.”He understands
that philanthropy, i.e., funders, also has an obligation to take risks.
Belinda Johns
Senior Assistant Attorney General
State of California
San Francisco, Calif.
Johns doesn’t see charity fraud behind every rock. She believes that
both donors and state charity regulators have roles in controlling
abuses in the solicitation of charitable contributions and in the
operation of the charities themselves. She should be a role model
for AGs who are more aggressive and get less done.
Irv Katz
President
National Human Services Assembly
Washington, D.C.
Katz was talking and writing about whether the government would
be able to support investments in individuals, families and community
development at sufficient levels in the near future and beyond before
the economic crash. Because of his vision, he leads a group that was
as ready as one could be given the circumstances.
Alan Khazei
Founder & CEO
Be the Change, Inc.
Cambridge, Mass.
Few believed he and his merry band would be able to pull of the
ServiceNation summit, let alone have the impact that it did. He’s a
primary reason (along with a massive federal budget deficit) that
national service is front and center in the Obama administration.
Marguerite Kondracke
President & CEO
America’s Promise Alliance
Washington, D.C.
Kondrake uses bold language to make a point.She explains that one
year of high school dropouts equates to $319 billion in lost wages over
their lifetimes.She has put an ROI on educating and helping kids without
forgetting they are flesh and blood.She has moved the group from
a political rest stop to one getting into communities across the country.
Wendy Kopp
Teach For America
Chief Executive Officer & Founder
New York, N.Y.
A 2005 study showed that 75 percent of school principals consider
Teach for America educators more effective than their peers.Koop’s
work is also a model of how to take an incredible idea to national
scale. She’s just might be the education and service sector’s answer
to Jack Welch.
Gara LaMarche
President & CEO
The Atlantic Philanthropies
New York, N.Y.
LaMarche is proving that the pen is mightier than the sword.
He uses that pen to sign checks that fund some of the nation’s
most important progressive ideas while also writing columns
that sometimes characterize others in the movement as
“profiles-in-no-courage.”
Sr. Georgette Lehmuth
President & CEO
National Catholic Development Conference
Hempstead, N.Y.
When a large vendor went bankrupt earlier this year, Lehmuth
knew many of her members were going to be in trouble.
She spearheaded conversations that gave her members
alternatives and saved many a program. She’s also pushing
educational collaboration between her organizations and others.
Paulette V. Maehara
President & CEO
Association of Fundraising Professionals
Arlington, Va.
She has said that simply raising money is not enough and that
ethical treatment of donors and funds is critical to an effective
fundraising process.The funny thing is that she actually means it.
Maehara has long led the call for stewardship that is beyond reproach.
William C. McGinly
President & CEO
Association for Healthcare Philanthropy
Falls Church, Va.
McGinly barked for more than a decade that patients might be unable
to meet deductibles and co-payments and that philanthropy will be
vital to American healthcare.As more people file bankruptcy because of
medical bills,there are undoubtedly thousands more who were rescued
because of his vision in pushing systemic healthcare philanthropy.
Clara Miller
President & CEO
Nonprofit Finance Fund
New York City, N.Y.
Miller’s views go in the opposite direction of conventional
wisdom and she’s generally correct.While many see mergers and
consolidations as the answer to the current financial crisis,
Miller says that’s too simplistic. Economies of scale are subject
to the laws of diminishing returns, she believes.
William L. (Larry) Minnix, Jr.
President & CEO
American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging
Washington, D.C.
Minnix clearly knows the science and the art of understanding and
responding to basic human needs and he’s been an effective
communicator when it comes to leading the troops on
long-term care and aging. He has a voting block and
let’s legislators know it.That’s not a threat, of course, but …
Michelle Nunn
Chief Executive Officer
Points of Light Institute
Atlanta, Ga.
What good is curative medicine if the drug doesn’t have a delivery
system? As the nation gets serious about citizen service once again,
Nunn operates the mechanism that in 2008 delivered through its
HandOn business unit 30 million hours of volunteer service valued
at $615 million covering some 83 percent of the United States.
Wayne Pacelle
President & CEO
Humane Society of the United States
Washington, D.C.
He was leading HSUS into Web 2.0 and blogging long before other
organizations had any idea of the Internet’s power.Never at a loss for
words,Pacelle connects with donors with an informal urgency other
CEOs should consider. It’s all about transparent operations and ideas.
Lisa Paulsen
President & CEO
Entertainment Industry Foundation
Los Angeles, Calif.
Paulsen brings star power to fundraising. She has forged relationships
with stars, television networks and entertainment’s elite to funnel
potentially hundreds of millions of dollars to causes such as cancer
research and national service.She knows how to get the spotlights
turned on and into donors’pockets. (And,she knows Jennifer Aniston.)
Karen Pittman
Chief Executive Officer
The Forum for Youth Investment
Washington, D.C.
Pittman has been at the center of many of the more important
initiatives when it comes to youth development as part of the
nonprofit sector and the federal government.The organization’s
Ready by 21 programs has provoked both admiration and ire and
that’s how conversations that change the world get started.
A. Barry Rand
Chief Executive Officer
AARP
Washington, D.C.
Forget his legion of Baby Boomers. Rand is lending AARP’s
numbers and checkbook to just about every aspect of the nonprofit
sector, particularly public service.As his membership became more
active, so did AARP and that has provided muscle that Congress
and state legislators can’t ignore.
Holly Ross
Executive Director
NTEN
Portland, Ore.
Technology is the key to expanding operations and engaging
donors. Ross is ringmaster of perhaps the most undisciplined
circus of geeks with great ideas on building constituencies.There
is absolutely no doubt the big tent at which she checks tickets will
bring the next generation of nonprofit technology.
David Saltzman
Executive Director
Robin Hood Foundation
New York, N.Y.
It appears he has the best job in the sector, a well-heeled board
and the ability to impact New York City at a micro level. But what’s
really going on is a laboratory for measuring outcomes and which
organizations merit funding in the first place.
Jill Schumann
President & CEO
Lutheran Services in America
Baltimore, Md.
Forget that she’s a great manager who runs an organization with tentacles
in every community in this nation. Sometimes a leader makes
the list simply for inspirational purposes. Schumann was the original
social networker, sans computer, when she wrote about “Making The
Circle Wider, Building A Culture Of Belonging.” She lives it every day.
John R. Seffrin
Chief Executive Officer
American Cancer Society
Atlanta, Ga.
Seffrin is a leading thinker on management, organizational design
and the integration of marketing the message.The ACS’s marketing
campaigns and how one initiative ties into another is a model to
behold.They might as well rip down all the walls at headquarters.
There’s no need for them at ACS.
Lorie A. Slutsky
President
New York Community Trust
New York, N.Y.
In her own words:“We do need to make a compelling case
that strong, effective, and cutting edge nonprofits are essential to
the tasks we are asked to take on.” She puts the trust’s money into
play to do just that and is working to find and fund the
next generation of sector leadership.
Rev. Larry Snyder
President & CEO
Catholic Charities USA
Alexandra, Va.
He believes poverty in the U.S. can be cut in half by 2020.Wagering
against him just might be a sucker’s bet. He has the worldwide
resources as part of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum, a council that
manages the church’s charitable activities around the world, and has
infiltrated the U.S. federal government’s working groups on the sector.
Sterling Speirn
President & CEO
W.K. Kellogg Foundation
Battle Creek, Mich.
Speirn knows that the philanthropic sector needs to invest not
only in people and their ideas but also the aspirations of the
communities those leaders serve. He has called the nonprofit sector
society’s R&D and funds those investments.While looking for
models to replicate, Speirn has turned Kellogg into one.
Blair H. Taylor
President & CEO
Los Angeles Urban League
Los Angeles, Calif.
Establishing models to replicate is all Taylor does. He and his
organization raised $13 million and involved businesses in a 70-block
area, sort of a safe zone, around embattled Crenshaw High.You can’t
learn if you’re not safe.And, with the state’s budget in shambles, he
led a business delegation to China to try to jumpstart L.A.’s economy.
H. Art Taylor
President & CEO
BBB Wise Giving Alliance
Arlington, Va.
Donors want to know if a charity is legitimate.All of a sudden there
are many self-appointed watchdogs,some of whom have their own
transparency issues.Taylor calmly locks horns with the fundraising
establishment on reasonableness of costs and the need for independent
boards.The BBB’s seal of approval is sought after by charities.
Thomas J. Tierney
Chairman & Co-founder
Bridgespan/Bridgestar
Boston, Mass.
Tierney has been absolutely brutal in his assessment of the
management at nonprofits and the future leadership deficit. It’s
taken more than a decade but many in the sector have woken up
and discovered:“Hey, there’s a shortfall.” He’s one of the few laying
out ideas for discussion and action.
Doug Ulman
President & CEO
Lance Armstrong Foundation
Austin, Texas
Sure, he Tweets (and has 300,000+ followers), but who doesn’t
these days? Barely into his 30s, he started the Ulman Cancer Fund
for Young Adults.Now he leads a foundation with one of the most
visible brands in the world, which prioritizes advocacy to ensure
nonprofits are involved in policy discussions, and is engaging the
next generation of donors and advocates.
Jane Wales
President & Co-Founder
Global Philanthropy Forum
San Francisco, Calif.
Roughly 750 of the world’s richest and most affluent philanthropists
believe she has something to say and listen to her.Wales believes
nonprofits are vital to a healthy democracy,providing the space for
compromise because we have a lot of work to do as a society to
regain the respect for the process of coming to solutions together.
