Nonprofits in the Biden Administration: Foundations and Philanthropy

credit: reporter-times

When Joe Biden announced the makeup of his transition team, the Capital Research Center noted that more than 20 team members were "identified as being employed by left-of-center philanthropic foundations or grantmaking entities."

And that trend continued after the inauguration, with many foundation alumni taking jobs in the administration, the Washington Post reports.

The Biden Foundation, for example, shuttered in 2019, but former executive director Louisa Terrell is now director of the White House Office of Legislative Affairs.

Gautam Raghavan is now deputy director of the Office of Presidential Personnel; David Marsh is senior advisor to the chief of staff at the Office of Personnel Management; and Juliana Herman, chief of staff in the Department of Education's Office of Planning, Evaluation, and Policy Development, is now chief of staff at the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The Obama Foundation, meanwhile, has had its president since August, while Wally Adeyemo is now deputy secretary of the Treasury, and Dana Remus, the Obama Foundation's general counsel before joining Biden's campaign, is now White House counsel.

Bloomberg, meanwhile, looks at other nonprofits in the administration, including the Broad Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the Domestic Policy Council.
