Amanda did grantmaking and provided portfolio support while at the Ford Foundation and Blue Ridge Foundation New York (now Robin Hood Foundation’s Blue Ridge Labs). Before graduate school, she led strategic communications, educational programming, and volunteer programs as a founding staff member of a local arts nonprofit in Southern California.
