Words from our team
I’m inspired by our Founder’s rich legacy of curiosity and humility that motivated his philanthropy. His dedication to helping young people by leveraging existing resources and connecting with experts to understand their needs—and then fund them—is work that I am humbled to be able to carry forward at Carmel Hill Fund. I look forward to continuing to build and evolve our grants management function and support our grantee partners.
