Mariesa Kubasek

At NFF, I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with nonprofit leaders as they continue doing their vital work to bring about a more equitable and just world. The nonprofit sector is where I grew up, so to speak, and where I learned about the joys and realities of frontline, mission-driven work. It's also where I learned and practiced developing relationships rooted in trust and empathy, which I believe are vital to the collaborative work we do across the nonprofit sector.

Prior to joining NFF, I was the Director of the Volunteer Program at a creative writing and tutoring organization, where I led a team to reach out to, train, engage and manage a cohort of more than 1,100 active volunteers each year. I also worked for a local public affairs firm, where I led outreach efforts and coordinated media campaigns for an arts education program in Southern California.

When I'm not working, you can find me gardening, writing, reading, and listening to comedy podcasts while cooking.
