WASHINGTON, Feb. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy (NCRP) today announced that Jennifer Choi, program officer at Robert R. McCormick Foundation, will be joining NCRP as its vice president and chief content officer, a newly-created position.

Choi will oversee the creation and distribution of NCRP's content, which, for more than 40 years, has helped push foundations to be more accountable, transparent and responsive to the needs of underserved communities. Under a new strategic framework, NCRP will provide social justice movements and their current and potential funders with useful resources that will help increase impact and win important campaigns. It will also expand its programming to encourage wealthy donors to give in ways that promote equity and justice.

"NCRP is a beacon for all of us who believe in the power of bringing together our best collective selves, and that by being brave, kind and generous advocates for each other, we can work towards a shared vision of healthier and stronger communities," said Choi. "I'm humbled by NCRP's legacy and look forward to amplifying this work in these critical times."

Choi will begin working for NCRP on March 15, after wrapping up her current work on Robert R. McCormick Foundation's journalism and democracy initiatives.

Prior to McCormick, Choi was director of institutional initiatives at Chicago Public Media and held various staff positions at a number of nonprofits including the Illinois College of Optometry, Access Living of Metropolitan Chicago and Korean American Women in Need (KAN-WIN). She serves on the boards of the Chicago chapter of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy (AAPIP), the Illinois chapter of Common Cause and Chicago Women in Philanthropy.
