“The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation (DDCF) today announced the promotion of Maurine Knighton to chief program officer. In this role, Knighton will oversee DDCF\u2019s five national grantmaking programs: Arts, Environment, Medical Research, Child Well-Being and Building Bridges.” Maurine Knighton is also a board alum of Grantmakers in the Arts.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n“‘Maurine is a visionary, driven and skilled leader,’ said Sam Gill, CEO and president of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. ‘In a moment that calls for creativity and dexterity, Maurine’s wisdom and experience will help advance DDCF’s diverse and vital grantmaking programs.'”<\/p>\n

“Since joining DDCF in 2016, Knighton has led development and oversight of grantmaking programs to support artists and organizations in the contemporary dance, theater, jazz and presenting fields. During her tenure, she has overseen many of DDCF\u2019s signature programs, including the Doris Duke Artist Awards alongside a wide array of novel and innovative efforts to make the performing arts more equitable, inclusive and innovative.”<\/p>\n

“‘I am grateful to have the opportunity to be more deeply involved in the outstanding work of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation,’ said Knighton. ‘Our accomplished program directors have developed a diverse portfolio of grants that has enabled the foundation to make powerful strides toward improving the quality of peoples\u2019 lives. I very much look forward to collaborating with the team. I am excited to help advance our collective vision to extending the foundation\u2019s impact.'”<\/p>\n

“Prior to joining the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, Knighton was a senior vice president for grantmaking at the Nathan Cummings Foundation (NCF), where she oversaw shareholder engagement and NCF\u2019s grants spanning the program areas of Constituency Building, Disruptive Ideas, Religious Traditions and Contemplative Practice, Arts and Culture, as well as the Nathan Cummings Fellowship Program. An experienced nonprofit executive and administrator, she also served as senior vice president for program and nonprofit investment at the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone Development Corporation and as managing director of the award-winning Penumbra Theater in Minneapolis.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
