I love working at the community intersection of nonprofits, philanthropy, government and business to foster positive, equitable change.Drawing upon broad experience spanning small business ownership, nonprofit leadership, philanthropy, municipal government and facilitation, I recognize the importance of supporting diverse voices from multiple sectors to advance community goals.My nearly 12 years as a nonprofit executive director were critical to my role as a senior philanthropic program officer for the largest foundation in Oregon and my ability to build authentic relationships with grant seekers; reduce the power imbalance between grantor and grantee; and demystify the world of philanthropy.I look forward to continuing to support community by facilitating productive communication / collaboration within and among these critical sectors of civic responsibility.
Listed skills include Community Outreach, Grant Writing, Nonprofits, Volunteer Management, and 5 others.
