COMMUNITY SERVICE
Spark (Board Member, Board Chair), 2013–2020
Spark (www.sparksf.org) was a non-profit organization that advanced gender equality by providing young people with accessible forms of philanthropy. Spark achieved its mission primarily through a grantmaking model whereby Spark members would solicit, vet, and vote on grant applications, and then subsequently raise funds and provide pro bono services for selected grantees. As Board Chair, I was responsible for Board governance and fundraising, as well as working with the Executive Director to execute all facets of the organization’s work, from fundraising to developing relationships with our grantees, members, partner organizations, and media. In 2020, Spark joined forces with Global Fund for Women, one of the world’s leading foundations for gender equality.
