Join Carmen Rojas, Ph.D., President and CEO of the Marguerite Casey Foundation, as she explores the role of philanthropy to impact economic and social power. The central vision of the Marguerite Casey Foundation is to work towards a country where our government prioritizes the needs of excluded and underrepresented people, families, and communities. Discover how strategic grantmaking and values-aligned endowment management can drive a vision for a more inclusive government that prioritizes the well-being of all by safeguarding our natural resources, educational institutions, and essential infrastructure. Carmen Rojas is a UCSC politics alum and her talk is part of the John R.
