Madhav Shroff
Equity Officer, Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation
BIGGEST CHALLENGES IN MY CAREER
Shifting from practicing law to philanthropy. Adapting from a legal environment to a systems-focused space required learning new skills while staying committed to equity and justice.
ONE PRACTICE I USE TO MAINTAIN MY MENTAL HEALTH
Setting clear boundaries between work and personal life. This helps me stay present with my family, recharge and avoid burnout, ensuring I bring my best self to both areas.
ONE THING I WISH PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT MY COMPANY
WRF is more than a grantmaker. We relentlessly pursue equity, focusing on ALICE (Asset-Limited Income Constrained, Employed) families who work but still struggle financially. Through collaboration and innovation, we address root causes to create an Arkansas that works for everyone.
NONPROFIT I WISH MORE PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT
City Year Little Rock. As a former AmeriCorps member and now board member, I’ve seen firsthand how they are committed to equitable, quality education in central Arkansas while building leadership and teaching skills.
