The Connecticut Council for Philanthropy will seek a new president come June. Maggie Osborn, its current head, announced today she is leaving to become the chief strategy officer for the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers (Forum) in Washington, D.C.
Osborn has been CCP president since 2013.
CCP is a statewide membership organization supporting the philanthropic sector through programming, advocacy and partnerships, and is a member of the Forum, which is the largest network serving philanthropy in America.
The CCP board of directors is planning to hire an interim leader to keep the organization functioning while a search is conducted to identify a new CEO. “Our top priority is to ensure that CCP continues to fulfill its mission of service to and leadership of the state’s philanthropic community during this time of transition,” board chair Sue Murphy said.
The Connecticut Council for Philanthropy is an association of grantmakers that promotes and supports philanthropy. CCP’s members are foundations (private, corporate, community), business and corporate giving programs, bank trusts, donor-advised funds, individual philanthropists and those serving the philanthropic sector. CCP members granted more than $720 million in 2013 from assets of more than $6.3 billion.
