From Tim Sweeney, President and CEO of The Gill Foundation:
I am thrilled to announce that Lance King will join the Gill Foundation
as Vice President of Donor Resources in early September. Lance will lead
the foundation’s work with other institutional and individual donors,
including our OutGiving program, building greater support for our
grantees and the broader movement to advance equality for lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender Americans.
Lance brings to the foundation 20 years of experience as a development
professional—in higher education, healthcare, the arts, and as a
consultant. His extensive experience in development has included
campaigns that, combined, raised hundreds of millions of dollars. He is
an excellent leader who has ably built teams and aligned diverse groups
of people behind a common purpose. He has relationships across the
country, as his work has taken him from Texas to New York and from
Chicago to San Francisco.
Lance will be returning to Colorado, a state he once called home and
where he served as Senior Vice President at the University of Colorado
Foundation.
A Texas native, Lance is a graduate of The University of Texas at
Austin, and he completed a post-graduate executive residency in
nonprofit management in Washington, DC.
We couldn’t be more pleased that Lance has chosen to bring his
remarkable talent, exceptional experience, and fresh energy and ideas to
the Gill Foundation and the LGBT movement.
