About Kalina Covello Vine

I’m a philanthropy and social impact leader who believes generosity should be as strategic as it is heartfelt. For more than a decade, I’ve helped companies, foundations, and donors mobilize philanthropic capital in ways that create lasting systems change across health, economic mobility, education, and food insecurity.In my current role at Share Our Strength/No Kid Hungry, I lead major, principal, and transformational giving strategy across the western U.S. and planned giving nationwide, guiding transformative investments and cultivating long-term relationships that fuel the organization’s mission. My work centers on aligning donor intent with meaningful impact, bringing together vision, data, and deep collaboration.My background bridges large for-profit environments and national nonprofit leadership, complemented by senior, community facing roles where I owned strategy, revenue, and key stakeholder relationships. This combination allows me to translate operational rigor into mission-driven impact — partnering with boards, major donors, and executive leadership to scale sustainable change. Across every role, I’m driven by a belief that the most effective philanthropy is relational, equitable, and bold enough to imagine something better.As a CFRE-certified fundraiser, I bring equal parts strategy and heart to the philanthropy profession, with a deep commitment to advancing the field through leadership on local boards and global committees.
