Angelique Power

Angelique Power is the President & CEO of the Detroit-based Skillman Foundation, a private independent foundation that puts all of its resources toward brilliant Detroit youth — their justice, their power, and their promise. Under Power’s tenure, the Skillman Foundation has led a community-rooted strategic planning process to rethink its grantmaking, metrics, and partners. Power architected a racial equity audit internally of all grants, operations, and the endowment — allowing for transparency and accountability to community along with a mission-aligned organization in all policies and practices. An admirer of Gen Z, she elevated the role of her President’s Youth Council to catalyze a reinvention of Skillman’s grantmaking process.

Prior to Skillman, Power was President of the Chicago-based Field Foundation and a Program Director at the Joyce Foundation. Additionally, she led communications and community engagement at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and community relations efforts across the nation for Target Corporation.
