MacArthur’s President John Palfrey will co-chair the Presidents’ Council on Disability Inclusion in Philanthropy, joining co-chair Ryan Easterly, Executive Director of the WITH Foundation. The Presidents’ Council is a peer network connecting foundation presidents through the Disability & Philanthropy Forum, which MacArthur supports through Proteus Fund. The President’s Council advocates for disability inclusion in the philanthropic sector.

“We all have an important role to play in making the world more inclusive and accessible,” said Palfrey. “Being part of the President's Council has encouraged me and many other philanthropic institutions to do more to advance disability inclusion, rights, and justice. I’m proud to serve as co-chair as we continue this work together.”
