About Elissa
A nonprofit fundraising executive, I bring more than 12 years of experience to helping nonprofits and funders overcome inequality and grow the solidarity economy. Educated at UC Berkeley, I learned to hold complexity at a young age while growing up in the Deep South as a mixed-race, first-generation woman. Living in the San Francisco Bay Area for more than two decades, I have embraced the principles and models of the solidarity economy as community wealth-building strategies that are adaptable to nearly any context. I’d love to work with you!
Organizations I’ve worked with




On a personal note, I appreciate the natural gifts that the Earth gives us from the shores of the Gulf to the California hills. On the weekends, you can find me on a Bay Area hiking trail, tending my scrappy garden, or taking classes at my favorite arts school, The Crucible.
