Andrea Dancy Auguiste is the Senior Director of Philanthropy & Social Innovation working across the Federation to connect individuals and institutions to the diverse ways the Federation approaches conservation success. Andrea sees her passion for philanthropy and its power to affect change tied to her upbringing in Memphis, Tennessee where it was instilled in her at the earliest age to heed the importance of making a difference, of making connections, of the urgency and power of communicating and finding common ground — especially with those who may be different from you. It is the fundamental reason why she chose fundraising as the ultimate way to live out that passion and to help affect social change.
Andrea attended Howard University and graduated from University of Memphis with a B.A. in Journalism and a minor in Business. She resides with her family in Lafayette, Colorado, and enjoys the mountains as often as she can.
