James W. Head Receives Impact Warrior Recognition by Golden State Warriors

Congratulations, James! In February, James W. Head, Black Funders Network of the Bay Area Board Member and Co-Founder, was recognized as an “Impact Warrior” by the Golden State Warriors and Pacific Gas and Electric Company for his advocacy and philanthropic work supporting Bay Area Communities. Impact Warriors is an initiative to recognize the essential everyday leadership of people in the Bay who are working to make their communities a better place.

"James W. Head is a seasoned philanthropic leader and social justice advocate. As the former President and CEO of the East Bay Community Foundation, James led the organization to be named the “boldest community foundation in America.” He pioneered programs like ASCEND-BLO to sustain Black-led organizations and has devoted his career to tearing down structural barriers. Beyond his legal and executive leadership, James is a vital bridge-builder, working tirelessly to unite African-American and AAPI communities to address hate, foster dialogue, and build collective power across the Bay Area." | via Golden State Warriors
