As Program Officer for Capacity Building, Lindsey supports the strengthening and sustaining of all of Kataly Foundation’s grantee partners through direct programming, resource sharing, and investing in practitioners who are supporting efforts led by Black and Indigenous people, and other communities of color.
Lindsey comes to Kataly with nearly 15 years of experience, moving resources, coaching leaders, and developing programs. She most recently served as the Director of Strategy at Raise for Good, a social impact advisory and one of Kataly’s capacity building programming partners. During her tenure, Lindsey worked to shift power dynamics in philanthropy and build the capacity and sustainability of nonprofit leaders of color. Prior to Raise for Good, she raised funds and built development systems for a decade at Summer Search, a national youth development organization that helps young people reach their potential through mentoring and transformative experiences. She is forever grateful for the lessons of courage, resilience, and trust that these young people taught her, and are still teaching her.
Lindsey received her B.A. from UC Berkeley in Political Economy and deepened her commitment to social justice while living in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 15 years. Now residing in the Los Angeles area, she spends her time with her toddler and husband at the nearest park or library and cheering for the LA Dodgers!
