BWF is thrilled to welcome Aditi Dholakia (she/they) to the team! As the Senior Director of Program & Strategy, Aditi will oversee the design and implementation of programs that support BWF grantee partners, Horizon Collective, and youth leaders.

We connected with Aditi to learn more about them and what they're looking forward to in this role!

What’s your background/experience in philanthropy or activism work?

I’ve worked in the Boston social sector for the past four plus years at the intersection of nonprofits and philanthropy. My primary experience is in strengthening the social sector infrastructure, focusing on supporting grassroots organizations and movements for change. I’m not originally from Boston, and it’s been a gift to learn from incredible community leaders and organizations, including BWF, over the years!

What are you most looking forward to in your new role as Senior Director of Program & Strategy?

I’m really excited to connect with our community partners to learn more about how BWF can better support your work through our programs, and how we can strategize with our partners to build a more just world. I’m excited to laugh, learn, dance, break bread, cry, heal, and more with all of y’all!

What’s one of your favorite hobbies outside of work?

One of my favorite hobbies is cooking, especially for my friends and family! I love experimenting in the kitchen, bringing my community together over a hearty, loving meal. (I don’t love cleaning up afterwards, but that’s a problem for later me.) Now that the weather is warming up, you can also find me tending to me container garden outside! Right now, I’m growing tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans, kale, beets, and herbs. Stay tuned to see what else pops up!

What are some fun facts about you?
