About Angie Gaines

Hi, I’m Angie Gaines (Doss), Chief Development and Marketing Officer at Sunbeam Family Services. With two decades of experience in PR, marketing, and communications, I’ve been putting the fun in fundraising for nearly two decades. I was honored to be named AFP Oklahoma’s 2024 OKC Outstanding Professional and truly believe that philanthropy is for everyone. I’ve had the privilege of presenting at AFP ICON 2025, AFP Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits, Feeding America, and I authored “Trauma-Informed Storytelling” for The Nonprofit Times. I’ve also joined the conversation on the “We Are For Good” podcast. Recognized on multiple 40 Under 40 lists, I serve on the United Way Emerging Leaders Board and am a proud graduate of Leadership OKC, LOYAL, and Georgetown University’s New Strategies Cohort.
