About Katie Shultz
I have spent the past 18 years working as a development professional, including positions in fund distribution for the United Way, individual donor development and grant writing for several nonprofit and government entities, including leading the grants department at St. Petersburg College (SPC). Over the course of my career, I have led multiple grant writing teams which resulted in securing/managing over $100 million dollars from various funding sources, which included the Department of Education, the Department of Labor, National Science Foundation, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Currently I am the Senior Director of Community Investments at Community Foundation Tampa Bay (CFTB). In this position I oversees the administration of the competitive grant distribution process and other funding opportunities for area nonprofits.
