Generocity interviews Stoneleigh Executive Director Ronnie Bloom.
Ronnie Bloom, a former lawyer and director at the William Penn Foundation, assumed the role of executive director at the Stoneleigh Foundation in June.
Established in 2006 by John and Chara Haas, philanthropists with family ties to the William Penn Foundation, Stoneleigh is named for the Haas’ suburban Philadelphia estate.
Stoneleigh is focused on an individual approach to social impact. It has supported 44 Stoneleigh Fellows from across the U.S., who have worked on cross-systems solutions to improve the lives of children and youth. A shorter, one-year fellowship supported by Stoneleigh, Emerging Leader, helps Philadelphia-based nonprofits bring on recent grads who are interested in public service and social policy.
