About Vikki Crouse

As Senior Manager of Philanthropic Research for the Private Donor Group at Fidelity Charitable, I research and develop curated resources and reports to inform decision-making by donors seeking to provide transformational support for nonprofits. In my role, I especially enjoy being able to connect donors to community-based nonprofits who are having an outsized impact in their communities. I am also a proud board member of the NC Conservation Network. Prior to joining Fidelity Charitable, I worked at NC Child as Research Program Director where I provided policy advocates and decision-makers with reliable data and research to better understand child and family well-being.
