He plays a key coordinating, administrative, creative, and logistical role in helping to carry out current and long-term fundraising strategies. As an immigrant from Mexico, Manny is deeply passionate about bolstering impact for the under-served and often looks to channel creative skill-sets toward supporting fundraising initiatives and programmatic endeavors.
