About Diane Schorr

I am skilled at navigating organizational and interpersonal dynamics to align programs with a core mission. As a trusted advisor, I work closely with philanthropists to design giving objectives. From here, I offer evidence-based recommendations, guiding stakeholders in achieving the greatest impact. Focusing on first-generation college student success, I nurture institutional partnerships to advance a networked approach to test scalable strategies. My career has allowed for diverse management experiences in the philanthropic, nonprofit, higher education, and business sectors. Highlights include: Launched First Scholars® from inception, growing to a national-level program serving 750+ students. Selected as 1 of 8 inaugural Fellows in the Coro Cleveland Executive Fellowship program. Certified as a Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy, trained in philanthropic planning, strategies, and tools for effective giving. I strive to maximize community impact, building upon existing concepts to strengthen organizations. If you share my interest in driving and expanding mission, I invite you to connect here on LinkedIn, or email me at s••••••••@gmail.com.
