Team

We have a vision that Montgomery County residents can access quality services that make a difference in their lives.

As grantmakers, we look for trends and tools to help nonprofits adapt. We bring people together - nonprofits, funders, government officials, community leaders, consumers and others - to identify challenges and opportunities.

We are a small team dedicated to stewarding HealthSpark's resources to improve the lives of Montgomery County residents.

What's been the highlight of your time with HealthSpark?
"Since starting with HealthSpark in 2011, I have worked closely with the county's food pantry network.
