Julie Lynn Ford is Assistant Director of Donor Relations and Stewardship at Phillips Exeter Academy, a well-established secondary boarding school in New Hampshire whose mission is to: “Unite goodness and knowledge and inspire youth from every quarter to lead purposeful lives.” Julie is relatively new to the field of donor relations, but has spent her entire career in organized philanthropy working for organizations such as the Council of Michigan Foundations, Associated Grant Makers, and The Philanthropic Initiative. She holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Public Policy and Public Administration from Michigan State University. In her role at Exeter, Ford creates and executes programs for stewarding and reporting to nine categories of 1,500 endowed funds and hundreds of current restricted use funds. She is an active volunteer in her community and is grateful to work for an organization that values Non Sibi, the philosophy that wisdom gained here should be used for others as well as for oneself.
