In this season of celebration, we at Project SAGE are celebrating the newest member of our team, Sara Gunn!
Since mid November, Sara has been Project SAGE’s Director of Development, and she comes to us with a wealth of experience. Most recently she was with the Food Bank of the Hudson Valley, where she collaborated with her team to raise over 4 million dollars during her tenure and cultivated strong partnerships in the community. Sara explains that her entire career has been devoted to the nonprofit sector and that she has only been able to work for non profits whose mission she deeply believes in -- something that is no different with Project SAGE. Not only was she drawn to Project SAGE because of our mission of fostering healthy relationships and social change but also because of our organization’s long legacy and the success of the Trade Secrets fundraising event. She feels that any organization that has that level of success has something very good going on. Since coming on board Sara says she has appreciated the welcoming and supportive work environment and is continuing to feel enthusiastic about her role here.
When she’s not busy securing financial support for our nonprofit, Sara enjoys vegetarian cooking and home improvement projects where she lives in Dutchess County. Project SAGE is thrilled to welcome her on board, and we are enjoying having her as part of our team!
