Dr. DeAngela Burns-Wallace is president and chief executive officer of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, a private, nonpartisan foundation that provides access to opportunities that help people achieve financial stability, upward mobility, and economic prosperity – regardless of race, gender, or geography.

With Ewing Kauffman’s vision serving as the centerpiece for the Kauffman Foundation, Dr. Burns-Wallace guided a comprehensive community engagement process to renew the Foundation’s focus on college access and completion, workforce and career development, and entrepreneurship. The strategic refresh solidified the Foundation’s enduring bond with Kansas City and introduced a contemporary grantmaking philosophy and pathways for funding.
