Stephanie’s role:
I partner with fundholders and professional advisors to deepen philanthropic impact through thoughtful, highly personalized engagement. I build lasting relationships and provide attentive, responsive service to support each fundholder’s unique charitable goals. I also collaborate closely with financial advisors, estate attorneys, CPAs, and tax professionals to help clients establish donor-advised funds and seamlessly integrate charitable giving into their overall financial and estate plans.
What brought Stephanie to the Foundation:
I was drawn to the opportunity to work alongside mission-driven, collaborative colleagues who are deeply committed to shaping Austin’s future and strengthening our community for everyone.
What Stephanie did before:
Before joining ACF, I spent a decade in the nonprofit education space, with a focus on strategy, project management, and fundraising. Most recently, I served as Managing Director of Strategic Projects at KIPP Texas Public Schools, where I led strategic planning and cross-functional initiatives. I hold a BS from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service and an MS from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Stephanie’s favorite things to do in Central Texas:
I love exploring Austin’s food scene and spending time outdoors (ideally in the water!) with my husband and daughter. I’m an avid pizza and queso lover, Peloton enthusiast, reader, and traveler. I’m also a proud Girl Scouts of Central Texas troop leader and involved in my daughter’s school PTA Executive Board.
