Abstract
The article focuses on Darren Walker's announcement of his intention to leave his position as president of the Ford Foundation by the end of 2025, after an impactful 11-year tenure. Under his leadership, the foundation's endowment increased significantly, and he prioritized addressing inequality by divesting from fossil fuels and for-profit prisons. Walker reflects on the challenges facing democracy and philanthropy, emphasizing the need for reform rather than destruction of existing systems, and highlights the importance of supporting innovative ideas like baby bonds to combat structural inequity. He also discusses the evolving landscape of philanthropy, particularly the influence of prominent female philanthropists who adopt a more supportive approach to grant-making.
