The Silicon Valley Community Foundation confirmed today that Mari Ellen Loijens, a top official accused of sexual harassment and poor leadership, has resigned.
The community foundation announced an investigation of Loijens on Monday, two days before the Chronicle of Philanthropy posted a detailed article with allegations of wrongdoing. The investigation is being conducted by Sarah Hall, a Washington, D.C., based senior counsel at Thompson Hine and a former federal prosecutor.
The foundation said in a statement that the “investigation into alleged incidents of misconduct will continue, and at the conclusion of that investigation SVCF will take whatever action is necessary to preserve the integrity of our organization. SVCF remains committed to further cultivating a safe and welcoming workplace.”
