Rockefeller Official to Head Nonprofit Finance Fund

September 1, 2011 | Read Time: 1 minute

The Nonprofit Finance Fund, which offers consulting services and loans to charities, has selected Antony Bugg-Levine as its new leader.

Mr. Bugg-Levine has served as a managing director at the Rockefeller Foundation since 2007. He developed and led the fund’s effort to promote “impact investing,” which is built on the idea that businesses can help solve social and environmental problems while still making a profit.

Mr. Bugg-Levine is also a co-author of the book Impact Investing: Transforming How We Make Money While Making a Difference, which is scheduled to be released next week.

Mr. Bugg-Levine also has nonprofit-management experience. Before he worked at the Rockefeller Foundation, he directed operations in Kenya and Uganda at TechnoServe, a charity that fights poverty in developing countries by helping farmers improve their methods and sell their crops in global markets.

Mr. Bugg-Levine will assume his role at the Nonprofit Finance Fund on October 24. He will succeed founder Clara Miller, who left in March to become president of the F.B. Heron Foundation. The Nonprofit Finance Fund contributes to a Chronicle blog, Money and Mission.
