Yvonne L. Moore, Founder & Managing Director
Yvonne L. Moore is the Founder and Managing Director at Moore Philanthropy and it’s newly launched exempt arm, Moore Impact. She brings over 25 years of experience in the government, civil society, and philanthropic sectors to her work in providing strategic and tailored philanthropic advisement and solutions to families, individuals and institutions.
Moore Philanthropy, a Black-founded and woman-led philanthropic advisory firm, expands its charitable giving services. Individuals, families, affinity groups, and corporations of all giving capacities can now set up their own donor-advised funds (DAFs) to make immediate, meaningful impacts in communities across the U.S. and abroad.
Moore Impact, a collaborative partner and 501(c)(3) exempt entity under Moore Philanthropy, announced $1.3 million in grants to 18 “Power Champions,” a cohort of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) led enterprises working at the intersection of racial equity and COVID-19 response.
Long before she began her work with foundations, our Founder and Managing Director, Yvonne Moore, had learned that “love of humankind” means more in action than it does in etymology. She grew up being shaped by the ways Black women in her family showed up in their communities and took in how they grounded their everyday philanthropy in an ethic of care and shared responsibility.
Moore Impact receives investment to scale its impact as one of the only Black-founded and woman-led philanthropic intermediaries in the United States, with support from Pivotal Ventures, a Melinda French Gates company.
Moore Impact recently partnered with Warner Music Group and the Blavatnik Family Foundation Social Justice Fund (SJF) to invest $100 million in organizations working to build more equitable communities and create real change in the lives of historically underserved and marginalized people, with heightened attention to Black communities.
When considering racial equity in impact and philanthropic investment spaces we must examine both who is managing the investment of assets for people and institutions of wealth, as well as who is managing the deployment of those assets.
