What's your background in philanthropy or activism work?
My career in philanthropy began at the Boston Foundation - 10 years ago! I will forever be thankful to Kate Guedj, Senior Vice President and Chief Philanthropy Officer at TBF, because she gave me a chance when no one else would (my previous work experience was in finance for a global financial firm). It was a wonderful experience to help others with their philanthropic efforts.
