INDIANAPOLIS — Angela E. White, CFRE, has been named president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Eskenazi Health Foundation. She succeeds Ernest Vargo II, CFRE, who retired after serving as president and CEO of Eskenazi Health Foundation for 15 years.
Prior to joining Eskenazi Health Foundation in August 2024 as executive vice president, White served as senior consultant and CEO of Johnson, Grossnickle and Associates (JGA), a consulting firm specializing in philanthropy and strategy for clients across the United States. Before joining JGA, White served in leadership roles at the University of Indianapolis and Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. In addition, White has been a longtime faculty member at The Fund Raising School at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.
Eskenazi Health Foundation was vital in raising more than $87 million for the construction of a public hospital campus, which included support from more than 3,500 contributors, including a monumental $40 million gift from Sidney and Lois Eskenazi, for whom the health system was renamed.
