We Are Growing

Blossom Hill Foundation is constantly seeking ways to strengthen our work. Over the past few months we have focused on building our own capacity and we are pleased to announce that Sheila Renovitch has joined us as our new Deputy Director. Sheila has worked in corporate philanthropy and international development over a decade, most recently as the Executive Director of the Kate Spade & Company Foundation. Kathleen Freis, our former Deputy Director, will continue to be vital part of Blossom Hill’s team in a Senior Policy Advisory role. Learn more about our Staff here.
