About us
We inspire, develop and drive leaders to solve the most critical challenges of our time. Founded in 1985 by John and Anne Welsh McNulty, our Foundation's values are informed by both families’ experiences as Irish immigrants welcomed by America and grounded in our belief in the value of education and the importance of opportunity. We believe in a few fundamental human desires: to live meaningful lives, to build better ones for our children, to have a stake in our futures and communities. We recognize the central role individual leadership plays in effecting change and enabling people to take control of their future and reach their potential. Our programs support individuals at different stages of their leadership journey, from elevating examples of high-impact leaders through the John P. McNulty Prize, and incubating leadership in students and individuals with great potential through our academic partnerships.

Congratulations to #McNultyCatalystFund awardee Kaya Henderson, who is now leading the Center for Rising Generations at The Aspen Institute. This initiative is sure to be a catalyst for youth development under Kaya’s leadership, and we can’t wait to see what comes!
“We want to be a place that supports innovation in youth work,” said Kaya Henderson, former District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) chancellor, in conversation with the Washington Business Journal about the historic launch of the Center for Rising Generations at the Aspen Institute under her visionary leadership. Thanks to the unprecedented donation of $185.7 million from the Bezos Family Foundation, the Institute is taking a significant step forward in youth development. By optimizing existing youth-focused programs at the Institute and creating new partnerships, this initiative will deepen our focus on equipping young people with the tools they need to lead, engage, and drive positive change in their communities and beyond.

Vulnerability in leadership may seem counterintuitive, often mistaken for weakness in a world that celebrates perfection and infallibility. As a result, many leaders, fearing criticism and exposure, feel the need to maintain a facade of flawlessness. But the truth is, the key to unlocking true leadership credibility lies in vulnerability—it’s a powerful strength. It is the courage to show up as your authentic self, to admit your imperfections, and to ask for help when needed. In our latest blog, we explore how leaders like Gloria Walton, Marlon Peterson, Kaci Y. Patterson, MBA, Marilu Salvador, Miroslava Herrera, Kevin Hainline, and others from the Aspen Global Leadership Network, are redefining leadership by embracing vulnerability and authenticity. Discover how this approach leads to greater connection, collaboration, and innovation: https://lnkd.in/dHftTE9C

Our community of partners are on the frontlines tackling the critical challenges of our time. We stand with Edesia Nutrition on calling for safe passage for aid workers in Sudan as they try to reach children and families facing the impact of famine. Learn more about their efforts: https://lnkd.in/eBGg4dbh
Last week, famine was declared in North Darfur, Sudan. This is the first time in 7 years that the UN has declared a famine, which means millions of people are literally starving to death, and more will too without immediate action. Edesia's life-saving products like Plumpy'Nut are critical in a humanitarian crisis like this one. We shipped 18,000 boxes of Plumpy'Nut to children in North Darfur but getting it to people who need it has been treacherous and sometimes impossible for aid workers. That is why making it easier for aid workers to get to communities in need is so important. If they can deliver these miracle packets, we can save lives. Join us in calling for safe and free access to Sudan for aid workers so we can reach children and families in need. The time for action is now!

“SIF has on-the-ground relationships and the capacity to evaluate organizations in communities around the country in a way that a ‘modestly staffed family foundation’ isn’t equipped to do, said McNulty Foundation Trustee Johnny McNulty. ‘This creates a chain of trust,” McNulty said. “Funders get to pool their resources and have greater impact… [and] grantees can spend their critical time focusing on the work and their needs over the needs and demands of funders.’” We’re excited to see our Johnny McNulty featured in the latest Inside Philanthropy article! 🎉 The piece highlights the incredible work of NEO Philanthropy’s State Infrastructure Fund and features insights from Erica Linnick and other partners. Don’t miss this compelling read on the momentum and progress being made!
The latest Inside Philanthropy feature on NEO’s State Infrastructure Fund is a must-read! Reporter Sarah Henry has captured the secret sauce of SIF with comprehensive insights from partners and funders. Despite serious threats against democracy, NEO’s own Erica Linnick, Vice President of the State Infrastructure Fund remains encouraged by the momentum around the country. “I have a lot of hope because I know what our grantees are doing on the ground. People are meeting the challenges.” Check out this insightful article as well as quotes from other #NEOPartners, Risa Kaufman, director of human rights at The Overbrook Foundation, Anneshia Hardy, executive director of Alabama Values, Oriana Sandoval, CEO of Center for Civic Policy in New Mexico, and John P. and Anne Welsh McNulty Foundation Trustee Johnny McNulty. https://lnkd.in/gdviJxGS
