Karolo Aparicio
Development Officer
Why do you do what you do?
I’m passionate about being part of a movement that’s building a more equitable and sustainable society. I also draw great satisfaction from connecting people’s personal values to effective organizations and tangible results.
What drew you to the foundation?
I’m impressed by the foundation’s commitment to equity and inclusion. In my fundraising career, I’ve been drawn to organizations that put equity at the center of their work in order to solve problems.
How would you describe your role?
As the Development Officer, I’m responsible for raising funds for the foundation’s activities. As a native of San Francisco, I’m thrilled to help the foundation grow its capacity to address the Bay Area’s most pressing issues.
Are you involved in any volunteer activities?
I serve on the board of directors of East Bay Sanctuary Covenant, a nonprofit that serves immigrants and asylum seekers and as board chair of Earthworks an organization that protects communities and the environment from the adverse impacts of mineral and oil and gas extraction while promoting clean energy solutions in the US and internationally.
