Katie Collins, Founder & Principal
Katie’s passion for working with non-profits began within the Development Office at Dana-Farber where she played a leadership role in transforming it into the first hospital in New England to successfully raise $1 billion in a capital campaign. Following that, she joined the Private Donor Group team at Fidelity Charitable where she served as a Philanthropic Strategist supporting individual donors and families, and also helped to establish Fidelity’s Next Gen Fellows Program. At Fiduciary Trust Company she was deeply involved in client relationships and portfolio management as a VP and Investment Officer. Her industry involvement extends to various Board and Committee positions, including her current role on the Board of Advisors for Community Servings.
