Holly Fogle

Biography

Holly Fogle grew up at the end of dirt lane in a coal miner’s house in Appalachia where she witnessed both poverty and the power of a community of church women.

She graduated from The Wharton School and was a partner at McKinsey & Company, where she worked for 13 years. She ran McKinsey’s New Jersey Office and served on their global partner selection committee.

Holly is also the co-founder of The Bridge Project, USA's largest unrestricted cash program designed to support babies living in poverty during the first 1,000 days of their lives.

Her family’s foundation, The Monarch Foundation, focuses on ending childhood poverty and climate justice through simple and scalable solutions. It has committed over $40 million to direct cash for babies.

She is a voracious reader and an audacious dreamer. She avoids board seats, galas, naming rights, and restricted giving. She relishes authentic one-on-one conversations with people trying to change their corner of the world.
