Andrew Ferguson, Founder
“Together, we’re building a statewide community among accomplished leaders who actively support each other, living out the ‘inescapable network of mutuality’ that Dr. King so powerfully described.”
Andrew is a Social Entrepreneur & Community Builder, and Pahara Fellow. He is the Founder of Redwood Endeavors, a newly created social impact initiative that provides a platform for leadership and community-building, including the Redwood Fellowship.
Andrew recently served as Co-CEO of Dalio Education, a division within Dalio Philanthropies, where he led the team, overall strategy, and grant-making alongside Barbara Dalio. They worked together as partners for a decade (2014-2024) to build Dalio Education in service of young people, public schools, non-profit organizations, and communities in Connecticut; and to create the Connecticut Opportunity Project and to co-found the RISE Network with Emily Pallin and Bob Hughes. In 2024, as a Co-Chair, Andrew led the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities' 119K Commission on At-Risk and Disconnected Youth, which resulted in an actionable, multi-year strategy to get 60,000 young people back on track with broad support from bi-partisan leaders across Connecticut.
