Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced last week that he would sell up to 75 million shares -- worth around $12 billion at current market value -- in the next 18 months to fund his private investment company, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.

That money will go to back a variety of progressive causes, including prison reform. The Initiative is also looking for a person to lead investments in companies devoted to either science or advocacy -- an expansion beyond the Initiative's inital focus on education.
