William Foster Takes Helm at Pew | Philadelphia News

from Philadelphia News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

William Foster, a seasoned nonprofit strategist from Bridgespan, is set to become the next president and CEO of Pew Charitable Trusts in March, marking a major leadership shift after Susan K. Urahn’s tenure. With deep roots in philanthropy and a proven track record as a thought leader, Foster brings fresh energy and a commitment to evidence-based impact — qualities the board says will help him build strong teams and drive meaningful change. Based in Washington D.C., he’ll lead Pew’s $10+ billion portfolio, including its influential work in Philadelphia, while becoming the first outsider CEO in years. Urahn, who’s worked closely with Foster, is confident in his ability to steer the organization into its next chapter.
