About Bri Ross
With over two decades in the nonprofit world, I have built a career around one central belief: meaningful relationships are at the heart of philanthropy. My approach is grounded in gratitude and guided by curiosity. I listen deeply, learn what motivates each donor, and help them discover opportunities that reflect their values and aspirations. Together, we build something larger than ourselves: strengthening community, expanding possibility, and enriching the life of our campus.At The Rivers School, where the motto “Excellence with Humanity” guides everything we do, philanthropy is more than a transaction; it’s a powerful force for connection, and it brings people together to support students today and shape a more vibrant, inclusive tomorrow.Bridging passions with purpose isn’t just a phrase: it’s the foundation of my approach.
