Dan E. Moore helps people and organizations increase their capacity to achieve their goals, especially through strategic giving and fund raising. He is currently senior consultant to NCGives, an innovative new initiative to celebrate and inspire giving in North Carolina, particularly among young people, women, and communities of color. All of this work draws upon his almost 20 years at the Kellogg Foundation in Battle Creek, Michigan. During that time he served in a variety of roles. As Vice President for Programs, he provided administrative and programmatic leadership to the following areas: philanthropy and volunteerism, Latin American and Caribbean programming, food systems and rural development, information and communications technology, leadership grant making, the Kellogg National Leadership Program, and the Kellogg International Leadership Program.
Before going to Kellogg, Dr. Moore was a faculty member at Cornell University, Pennsylvania State University, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison where his research, teaching, and extension focused on community change and leadership development. He has been a visiting distinguished professor at the Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara in Mexico, a fellow and faculty member at the Salzburg Seminar in Austria, a research fellow of the Organization of American States, and a resident consultant on issues of technology diffusion in EMBRAPA, the Brazilian Organization for Agricultural Research. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and serves on several nonprofit boards. His bachelor's degree is from The Ohio State University, Columbus. His master's and Ph.D. degrees in sociology were earned at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
