A Note from Stacy
Project SAGE’s Development Manager
In my role at Project SAGE, I have the privilege of working with donors and community partners who care deeply about this work and the people it serves. Alongside my colleagues Brenna, Stephanie, and Nichole, I spend a lot of time listening — learning what matters most to people and helping connect their values with meaningful, lasting impact.
One trend we’re seeing more of is values-aligned philanthropy — giving that reflects not just what someone supports, but why. Many donors want to understand how their support helps sustain Project SAGE’s work over time. Tools such as donor-advised funds (DAFs), gifts of appreciated stock, and planned giving options can offer thoughtful and flexible ways to give, often while providing financial or tax benefits as well. Across all of this, transparency, trust, and long-term sustainability matter more than ever.
I’m always glad to connect with individuals who are curious about Project SAGE’s work and how they might engage in ways that feel right for them. If that sounds like you, I hope this note feels like an open door.
