Vice President of Community Donor Engagement, Mercy Foundation @Mercy Cedar Rapids

Cedar Rapids, IA, US

The mission of Mercy Medical Center is to care for the sick and enhance the health of the communities we serve, guided by the spirit of the Sisters of Mercy. The purpose of the foundation is to promote this mission through philanthropic support, ensuring that the legacy of the Sisters and their ministry of care endures. As the Vice President of Donor Engagement, I facilitate grant writing and handle communications and promotions for the foundation with the goal of creating greater awareness and support. I also have the privilege of working with donors to help them achieve their charitable goals through annual giving, major gifts and estate gifts.
