Every Texan is proud to award Darren Walker the 2021 Every Texan Legacy Award for his steadfast commitment to social justice and advancing equity.
Walker has taken exemplary steps to strengthen the philanthropic sector’s response to rising inequality and systemic injustice in Texas, the United States, and worldwide. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ford Foundation took a historic and unprecedented step to increase philanthropic giving through the sale of social bonds, which served to stabilize and strengthen nonprofit organizations in the wake of the global crisis.
“Darren and the Ford Foundation are instrumental partners in advancing opportunity and equity in Texas,” commented Marisa Bono, CEO for Every Texan. “We are grateful for Darren’s bold vision in reimagining the philanthropic sector and setting a new bar for foundations’ capacity to create lasting, systemic change in our communities."
