Maura Southwell, MS

Philanthropic facilitator for passionate community leaders with a desire to create lasting impacts. I am a strategic fundraiser informed by my 9 years in higher education and past experiences as a biological researcher, science communicator, and community outreach coordinator.My approach is donor-centric and driven by each individual's unique motivation. I aim to match their hard earned resources with the most meaningful impact aligned with their goals - whether that be patient-facing clinical programs, cutting-edge research, educating the next generation of scientists or something new. I partner with physician-scientists to communicate their greatest funding needs, share their success stories, and recognize all those who made that success possible. Skilled at growing faculty relationships and leading group trainings to take the mystery out of the fundraising process.As a team member, I value collaboration, transparency and open feedback.
