Our Leadership

The Rabbani Foundation trustees set policies relating to grant making, geographic focus, spending, investment, management, governance and professional standards, and they oversee internal and independent audits. They also set the compensation and review the performance of the all foundation officers. Our Board of Trustees is currently composed of 9 members, including the Chief Executive Officer. Nominated by a trustee committee and appointed by the full board, trustees generally serve two six-year terms. The board, board committees and individual trustees are evaluated on an annual basis by our Executive Committee. Foundation trustees bring a vast range of knowledge and experience to the task of governing the foundation. Over the years, trustees have extensive experience in the worlds of higher education, business, law, government, nonprofit management and the civic sector.

Chief Executive Officer

The trustees select the Chief Executive Officer, who implements board policies and oversees foundation programs and operations on a day-to-day basis. The trustees and the Chief Executive Officer share the responsibility of representing the foundation in the public sphere along with other senior staff. The Chief Executive Officer continually re-examines our work, looking for opportunities to hone our strategies and improve our effectiveness. The Chief Executive Officer meets with people around the world to help deepen the foundation's grasp of different perspectives on how to solve problems. In addition to overseeing operations, the Chief Executive Officer works to communicate what we have learned to a broad array of audiences and strives to strengthen the philanthropic sector's performance, legal compliance and transparency.

The Board's Oversight

Our Board of Trustees determines the substantive areas and geographic focus of the foundation'. Within the budget approved by the board, the foundation conducts operations on a day-to-day basis throughout the year. The board has delegated authority for approving these grants to the Chief Executive Officer and senior staff. However, all trustees serve on one of the board's to design program strategies. The trustees meet at their regular board meetings, which take place three times a year.
