Dan Siegel & Jenny Yancey,
Founders and Co-Presidents
Jenny Yancey and Dan Siegel each bring more than 20
years of experience creating and managing nonprofit organizations
and working as consultants, researchers, trainers and writers promoting
effective philanthropy and innovation in the nonprofit sector. Their
combined history of envisioning and building new infrastructure
support models in the philanthropic and nonprofit sector, convening
leaders across organizations and sectors, sparking collaborative
ventures, advising donors, engaging and working with youth and learning
daily as parents makes them well-suited to launch and lead YouthGive.
Yancey and Siegel co-founded New
Visions PRD in 1989, an international philanthropic research
and development organization that has consulted to major foundations
and individual donors, and undertaken cutting edge research to advance
philanthropy. In 2003 they co-authored a two-year national study
of the donor education field, Philanthropy's
Forgotten Resource? Engaging the Individual Donor, in
partnership with the Ford, Hewlett, Kellogg and Packard foundations.
Siegel and Yancey have worked with numerous financial advisors on
philanthropic giving with clients of wealth, and have personally
advised individual donors and families in the creation & development
of their strategic giving plans.
For eight years, Yancey and Siegel worked in Eastern Europe, focused
on the work of young social entrepreneurs and the development of
the emerging philanthropic and non-governmental sectors. They were
founding Executive Directors of the Civil Society Development Foundations
based in Hungary and Poland from 1993-96, which served to create
two of the leading national nonprofit resource and training centers
that still thrive today. They live in Mill Valley, CA with their
two children, Weezie 14 and Satchel 11, who serve as Youth Marketing
consultants to YouthGive. |
