Pioneering philanthropy executive Michael Bailin passed away last month at the age of 82. He was best known for his decades of leadership at both nonprofits and foundations, notably as CEO of the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation and Public/Private Ventures. While Mike wholeheartedly believed in philanthropy’s ability to solve difficult problems, he wasn’t shy about questioning its methods — a quality born from his time as the head of a youth development nonprofit and honed as a foundation leader.
