Beginning January 2014, Jeff Clarke will be CEO of Philanthropy Northwest, succeeding Carol Lewis, who retiring after eight years in the position.
Jeff brings with him a vast amount of experience in philanthropy and mission investing communities. Having served as interim president and CEO of Council on Foundations, he is currently a senior advisor on Philanthropy Northwest’s consulting team, The Giving Practice.
