Moy Eng
Executive Director
Moy Eng is known nationally for her work with non-profit organizations devoted to arts and culture. From 2001-2009 she worked as the Program Director, Performing Arts, at the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, leading one of the largest arts grantmaking programs in the US.
Among her many achievements during her tenure at the Hewlett Foundation, she developed an arts education initiative comprising research, advocacy, and exemplar programs, which led to over $800 million in new public funds for arts education to 6.2 million CA public schoolchildren. This singular effort included: a suite of landmark research studies commissioned from SRI on the state of arts education in California, widely used by educators and policymakers nationally; and an investment to seed California’s PTA’s strategic plan and initial efforts to unite one million parents to increase arts learning for schoolchildren statewide.
During her 20-year plus career, Eng has worked with more than 500 non-profit organizations, gaining an understanding of organizations across multiple fields, including the arts, education, renewable energy, and human rights in the U.S. and internationally. Her 15 years of development experience includes serving as Director of Development at the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater Foundation and Orchestra of St. Luke's in New York.
Moy Eng holds degrees from New York University (M.A., Arts Administration) and Rutgers University (B.A., Theater Arts). A trained classical singer, Eng works actively as a songwriter and vocalist, performing at Yoshi’s, San Jose Jazz Festival and area clubs.
