Our Leadership
-
Allison Gutstein
Head of Client Success
she/herI came to the social impact space through a love for the arts coupled with the knowledge my destiny was in support of the work, not on stage.
A lover of learning, my Masters in Performing Arts Administration from NYU gave me the knowledge I needed to take on fundraising roles while supporting social impact organizations holistically. My knowledge of events, donor stewardship, major gifts, and capital campaigns has helped my work with a variety of clients across multiple sectors including Manhattan Theatre Club, The Chick Mission, Marin Theater Company, and 54 Below.
When I am not working, I am taking in as much culture in New York City as time will allow and raising two intrepid teenagers.
