Bio

Stacy joined Founders Pledge in June 2021 as Development Director. She brings more than 20 years of fundraising experience at international health, human rights and animal organisations, such as The Carter Center and Physicians for Human Rights. Before joining Founders Pledge, she was the Deputy Director of Fundraising for World Animal Protection, where she helped make animal welfare an issue of global importance, inseparable from the health of people and our planet. Stacy received an M.A. from the University of Denver’s Korbel School of International Studies.

David’s talk, Why we are so bad at doing good, inspired her to reflect on how she could use her fundraising skills to achieve more impact.

Outside of the office, Stacy enjoys hiking with her dog, baking, reading, and making quilts.

Q&A with Stacy

Q: If you could choose anyone famous (real or fictional) to have dinner with who would they be and why?

I would have as long a dinner as possible with my late mom, Caroline, and ask her all of the questions I neglected to ask when she was alive.

Q: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

An emergency room doctor, and I still do!

Q: If a movie was made of your life what genre would it be, who would play you?

It’s been said I was born too late, so the movie of my life would be a historical drama with Zooey Deschanel.
