Honoree Spotlight

             James D. Parsons, The Brinson Foundation - Professional Grantor Award

On Friday, May 5th, AFP Chicago will proudly honor eight of the most distinguished leaders of the Chicago's philanthropic and nonprofit sectors at the 41st Annual Philanthropy Award Luncheon.

Please allow us to introduce you to Jim Parsons, the recipient of this year's Professional Grantor award.

Jim's leadership has purposefully guided the Brinson family's interests in programs that encourage personal initiative, advance individual freedom and liberty, and positively contribute to society in the areas of education and scientific research.

Through Jim's efforts, the Foundation has strived to be a leader in best practices in philanthropy, including implementing an evaluation process that ensures that its grantees are well aligned with the standards and expectations of the Foundation's Board.
