Guest
Diane is a
first-generation American, the daughter of working-class, Polish
immigrants who instilled in her a strong work ethic and desire to
“do good.” After studying international relations in college, Diane
stayed in Washington and began her nonprofit career on the national
staff of United Way, the largest charity in the United
States.
Over the course of seventeen years, she managed United Way’s
national literacy program, managed the national board of
trustees, and built a women’s giving program that has to date
raised over $2 billion and mobilized over 70,000
philanthropists.
After leaving United Way, she went on to lead US
fundraising operations for an international nongovernmental
organization that served orphans and abandoned children,
oversaw a leadership turnover at a large public library foundation,
served as the Chief of Protocol at the US Embassy in Australia, and
led the women’s giving program for the American Red
Cross.
In 2018, she and her husband cofounded Evergreen Philanthropic
Solutions, a national consultancy that helps nonprofit
organizations, individuals, corporations, and foundations achieve
their philanthropic goals. Diane is a published author of
For a Good Cause: A Practical Guide to Giving
Joyfully and a frequent speaker at conferences.
