About Grace Reddy

With over 20 years of fundraising leadership in the nonprofit sector, I have a proven track record of achieving fundraising and communications results for various causes, including animal welfare, youth development, and humanitarian aid. I received a Certified Fundraising Executive (CFRE) credential that rounded out long experience executing annual, major, corporate, foundation and planned giving campaigns as well as building and managing donor relationships, creating and delivering compelling messages, and leading and motivating teams. I am passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of children, animals and the environment in my local community and around the world.
