I bid a fond farewell to my friend and colleague, Anne Mosle, one of the pioneers of women’s philanthropy here in greater Washington.
Over the past six years of Anne’s tenure, The Women’s Foundation has grown exponentially and touched the lives of tens of thousands of women and girls in our region. Thanks to her vision, energy, and persuasive force, The Women’s Foundation today is a clear standout among the 100 or so women’s and girls’ funds located throughout the United States and abroad.
The Meyer Foundation was pleased to provide early support to Anne and her colleagues as they worked to expand the circle of people committed to investing in the power of women and girls. We’ve been grateful to have Anne as a philanthropic colleague and collaborator—most recently as a co-investor with Meyer in the Hispanics in Philanthropy Funders’ Collaborative for Strong Latino Communities.
For these past six years, we’ve benefited from her wise counsel and her very important perspective on what it takes to develop greater Washington as a vibrant community that serves the needs of all its citizens.
While we’re sad to see her go, we also know that philanthropy will be very well served by her work at the Kellogg Foundation. Anne’s commitment will continue to inspire all of us as we follow her on her great new adventure!
Julie L. Rogers is president of the Eugene and Agnes E. Meyer Foundation.
