About Boski Sharma
As a trusted philanthropy consultant, I seamlessly connect fund holders’ charitable interests with community needs for a lasting impact. Serving others with passion and purpose, I am committed to assisting individuals, families, and businesses meet their charitable goals through strategic giving practices and exemplary service. I had previously worked at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science as the Director of Corporate Programs where I successfully advanced the corporate fundraising strategy to expand community impact in a meaningful way. Before devoting my life to the nonprofit sector, I honed my creative skills and worked as a technical designer for over fifteen years with prominent fashion retailers, including Limited Brands, Express, and JCPenney. As a passionate advocate for local nonprofits, I currently serve on the board of Dallas Black Dance Theatre, CCPA SMU Meadows School of the Arts, and Dallas Council of Charitable Gift Planners. I am a Dallas resident and live with my husband and young son. When I am not working, you will find me meditating, traveling, exploring new cultures, and building life-long friendships around the world. The quote that inspires me is ‘The meaning of life is to find your Gift. The purpose of life is to give it away- Pablo Picasso’.
