Dr. Ellen Dorsey Named to TIME100 Climate List for Leadership in Fossil Fuel Divestment
Dr. Ellen Dorsey, Executive Director of the Wallace Global Fund (WGF), has been recognized on the 2026 TIME100 Climate list for her influential role in the global fossil fuel divestment movement. Under her leadership, WGF transitioned its entire endowment to a 100% mission-aligned portfolio in 2010, achieving top-decile investment returns while proving that climate commitments do not require sacrificing financial performance. Dorsey has been instrumental in scaling the divestment movement, which now includes over 1,700 institutions representing approximately $40 trillion in assets. As WGF prepares to complete its strategic 'spend-out' of its entire endowment by December 2026, Dorsey is transitioning her focus toward launching a new venture, Dorsey Advisors.
