Foundation Center Welcomes Two New Trustees
Patrick McCarthy and John Colborn Will Join Board at November Meeting
NEW YORK, Sep 21, 2011 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) — The Foundation Center, the leading source of information about philanthropy worldwide, elected Patrick McCarthy and John Colborn to its Board of Trustees. Mr. McCarthy is president and CEO of the Annie E. Casey Foundation and Mr. Colborn is vice president, operations, at the Ford Foundation. Their service on the Center’s Board will begin in November 2011.
“Patrick and John are forward-thinking grantmakers who have woven information management into the fabric of their organization’s work,” said Bradford K. Smith, president of the Foundation Center. “We welcome their leadership and expertise in guiding the Foundation Center’s work to employ data-driven knowledge in the service of strengthening the social sector.”
Patrick McCarthy has more than 26 years of experience in the field of children’s well-being. He joined the Annie E. Casey Foundation in 1994 and was its senior vice president prior to becoming president in 2010. The Casey Foundation, located in Baltimore, is a private foundation dedicated to helping build better futures for disadvantaged children in the United States. At Casey, McCarthy has championed the collection and dissemination of data — through initiatives like the annual KIDS COUNT Data Book — as an essential tool for policymakers and nonprofits working for positive change.
Before joining the Casey Foundation, McCarthy held positions of increasing responsibility at the Department of Services for Children, Youth, and their Families, State of Delaware, culminating in his appointment as director of the Division of Youth Rehabilitative Services. He has also taught child and family practice, research methods, and statistics at the graduate schools of social work of Bryn Mawr College and the University of Southern California. McCarthy holds a Ph.D. from the Bryn Mawr College Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research and a B.A. in psychology from Manhattan College in New York City, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.
