Upon hearing the news of the great Darren Walker’s decision to step down as The Ford Foundation president by the end of 2025, our president and CEO, Latanya Mapp had some powerful words to say about Walker's work. Calling Walker an "icon" and a "beacon," Mapp said Walker has been able to "bring change in ways that many philanthropies have only put rhetoric towards." As one of our top partners, The Ford Foundation continues to change the world for the better every day, and we're proud to continue that partnership. Congratulations on an outstanding tenure, Darren.

"Democracy thrives on the peaceful exchange of ideas..." Read #RPA CEO, Latanya Mapp's statement that emphasizes the importance of unity in condemning violence and ensuring justice.
As someone who has dedicated my personal and professional life to public service, diplomacy and furthering democracy, I unequivocally condemn the assassination attempt on the former US president. Such acts of violence undermine the very principles of democracy and justice that we stand for. It is also a stark reminder of those that have laid down their lives for this country, Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, the civil rights matyrs, as well as the men and women who have served this country in its many wars including my father, a disabled Marine, my uncle, a disabled Vietnam veteran, and so many more. Democracy thrives on the peaceful exchange of ideas, the sanctity of the ballot, and the respect for the rule of law. When violence enters this equation, it threatens the principles that bind us as a nation. This attempted assassination of a political figure awakens my unwavering commitment to governance by and for the people and strong resilience in the face of such threats. In fact, violence, in all its forms, whether political, gender based, mass shootings, in the street, in the home, not only seeks to harm but also aims to instill fear, create division, and erode public and private trust. In moments like these, we must reaffirm our dedication to the principles of democracy, including the priority to protect our communities with appropriate gun control legislation ... protect human rights defenders both here and around the world ... protect civilians during war and conflict .... and the list goes on. We must stand united, regardless of political affiliations, in condemning ALL violent acts and ensure that justice is served. Our democracy is strongest when we protect the rights and freedoms of all citizens, uphold the rule of law without discrimination, and engage in constructive dialogue rather than succumbing to violence and hatred. As the CEO of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, an organization dedicated to accelerating philanthropy in pursuit of a just world, we will continue to work towards pluralism, equity and inclusive democracies where all citizens thrive.

Freedom is not free. Democracy takes intention and diligent work to maintain and to strengthen. On this #IndependenceDay, we celebrate our democracy and our hard-won freedoms while we recognize our model of governing is something we must all fight to uphold. Now, more than ever, democracy needs bold funders. We can’t think of a better time to highlight our report Democracy-Focused Philanthropy: Choosing Operating Models for Deeper Impact than on Independence Day. This report serves a guide for funders looking to strengthen the bonds of our democracy while centering racial justice. From all of us at Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, we wish you a happy and safe Independence Day! https://lnkd.in/ehur6t2z
