Kathleen Loehr is a senior consultant at Aspen Leadership Group. She has 35 years of experience in partnership with university and nonprofit leaders, as well as philanthropists. She combines nonprofit expertise, fundraising, coaching, and strategy to help individuals and groups navigate change. She knows that women are more frequently in the philanthropic driver seat, given the increased money being earned and inherited, and their influence in the household giving. 

Loehr translates the research on how women give into practical action fundraisers can take. Her book, Gender Matters: A Guide to Growing Women’s Philanthropy, was published by CASE in August 2018. She was a C-suite leader of fundraising for the American Red Cross, Save the Children, the International Crisis Group and key departments at Cornell University. 

She holds a bachelor's degree in government from Cornell University’s College of Arts and Sciences. She is the chair of the Advisory Council for the Women’s Philanthropy Institute at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.
