When and why did you join Foundation Source?

I joined Foundation Source just over three years ago. I wanted to be a part of a talented, smart team and also work for a company that was committed to making the world a better place. I found all of these things and more at Foundation Source.

What do you love about working at Foundation Source?

I love that across the entire company, everyone is very knowledgeable and supportive, which helps you do your best work. I also find that the team truly cares and believes in the work we are doing to support philanthropists and their professional teams. It’s a privilege to get to play a role in their giving journeys.

What is the best part of your job?

I would have to say our team. We talk every day–about everything from our breakfast to our to-dos for the day. It’s fun and rewarding to work with such a committed team.

What does your job entail?

If you pull back the curtain on our blog, you’ll see me as the “wizard” so to speak. In addition to writing and overseeing the blog, I support the team by working with our experts to craft content that helps educate and inspire philanthropists and the advisors who support them.

What is your team like and what has your experience been with company culture?

I’m part of the marketing team and I have to say, they are the best in the business and true professionals. It’s also fun to share fun facts with each other…we know everything about each other from our pets’ names to our go-to coffee orders. The company celebrates and rewards our efforts and wins.

What has been your favorite project at Foundation Source?

My favorite project is our quarterly newsletter. It’s humbling to look back at the content we’ve created and we look forward to sharing new resources with our subscribers.

What has been your biggest accomplishment since joining Foundation Source?

Launching the Foundation Source blog and watching it grow over time.

In your opinion, what makes the Foundation Source team special?

Our team is continuing to grow and evolve and through it all, we haven’t missed a beat. It’s also an exciting time to be a part of a company that’s continuing to expand its capabilities.

What is a memorable client experience you’ve had or heard about?

I have too many to choose one, but I will say that each time I interview a client to share their story, I’m always inspired by their passion. They truly want to make a difference in the world and it makes you feel really good to know how many wonderful people are out there doing what they can to help.

What advice would you give to someone who doesn’t know about Foundation Source or may be thinking about joining the team?

I would tell them that this is a great place to be, especially if you want to work for a company that is making a difference. Even if you don’t see a position now, send us your resume and express interest. You never know when an opportunity may open up that aligns with your background and skillset.
