ARNOVA

🎓 Meet an ARNOVA Scholar

We’re proud to highlight the students and emerging scholars whose research is helping shape the future of the nonprofit and philanthropic sector.

This week, we’re spotlighting Megan Pontes, whose research explores the intersections of leadership, philanthropy, and social justice advocacy.

Megan’s work examines how leadership and philanthropic practices can contribute to meaningful social change, bringing important questions of equity and advocacy into conversations about the nonprofit sector.

Through research like Megan’s, ARNOVA scholars are helping us better understand how nonprofit and philanthropic leaders can navigate complex challenges and contribute to more equitable communities.
