Category: Professional Development
Ellen Gilligan Sitting at the helm of Wisconsin’s largest community foundation, Ellen Gilligan’s leadership is helping to create a unified vision for people living throughout the Milwaukee Region. Most recently, her efforts have centered on equity and inclusion – investing in programs that help dismantle racist systems and promote progress for oppressed communities. The foundation has awarded nearly $900M in grants since it was started – a legacy of strategic giving of which Ellen has been a large part. She’s agreed to meet-up with the FUELers over coffee to discuss what it will take to unify Milwaukee and how responsible investments can make things better for everyone. ELLEN’S BIOGRAPHY
