Meet Angie, our Grants Program Manager at the Women’s Fund. With more than 20 years of experience building community connections and strengthening organizations, Angie brings an intersectional feminist lens to everything she does. Her journey—from managing a reproductive health clinic in Alaska to cultivating community through film in Omaha—has led her right here, where her values and vision align with our mission.
Outside of work, you might find Angie deep in a good book at her anti-fascist book club, putzing in her garden or off on an adventure with her beloved dog and “life pawtner,” Frances.
We’re thrilled to have her on the team—and can’t wait for you to get to know her too!

Long walks and hikes with my dog.

What’s the most interesting or unusual job you’ve ever done?
At Half Price Books, I worked shifts at the buy counter, where we bought books and more from the public. It was always full of surprises – sometimes terrifying and sometimes delightful!

Really excited to hear my new coworker’s band, HAIR PERSON, when they finish recording their new album!

I’ve always loved Janeane Garafolo.
