Background

About Janet Antonio

Philanthropy, marketing, and communications leader with 20+ years of experience building authentic, trustworthy relationships across sectors. I’ve raised $25M+, led rebranding initiatives, and developed partnerships that strengthen both grassroots groups and large-scale community initiatives. Skilled in philanthropy, brand strategy, and digital communications, I bring a values-driven, collaborative approach to advancing community wellbeing. Throughout my career, I’ve helped organizations secure sustainable support while amplifying the stories that matter most. I work collaboratively alongside donors to understand their values and philanthropic missions, ensuring that every partnership is grounded in trust and aligned with meaningful community impact. I am equally skilled at leading major gifts and legacy giving as I am at shaping marketing strategies, stewarding brands, managing websites and social media, and serving as a public spokesperson. I bring formal training in New Media & Web Design (BCIT, with Distinction) and Communications (SFU), complemented by ongoing professional development in leadership, equity, reconciliation, and emerging trends in digital communications. Recent learning includes leadership coaching through CoachHub and Indigenous-focused workshops and language learning. I thrive in values-driven environments where collaboration, equity, and authentic engagement are central to advancing community wellbeing.
