Ellen Wang

Ellen Wang brings close to two decades of experience in the education, nonprofit, and philanthropic sectors. Most recently, Ellen was the Senior Program and Equity Officer at the Nellie Mae Education Foundation, where she led a $14M portfolio of 45 BIPOC-led youth-, parent-, and educator-serving nonprofit organizations, working to advance racial equity in public education. In addition to her role as a grant-maker, Ellen also led the Foundation’s internal racial equity learning agenda. Prior to Nellie Mae, Ellen was the Director of Youth Education at the Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center. Ellen fundamentally believes those most impacted by inequities are most proximate to the solutions.

Ellen received a B.A. in English from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, an M.A. in Humanities with a concentration in Philosophy in Education from the University of Chicago, and has a certificate in Nonprofit Management and Leadership from the School of Management at Boston University. She serves on the Board of the Boston Chinatown Neighbor Center. Ellen’s leadership will play a pivotal role in guiding our Shared Services initiative, ensuring seamless coordination and support across all aspects of our new program.
