Maggie Wolff has been promoted to Senior Manager of Products and will be responsible for the ideation, development, and life cycle of the Foundation’s proprietary solutions. Jenni Speth has a new title – Senior Manager of Engagement – to recognize her continuing, ever-growing expertise in engaging our donors.

This reorganization allows us to grow our talented team and build the future of our work around the singular focus on impact.”
