Background

About Liza Munson

As a professional fundraising executive and a collaborative leader, I consistently deliver strong revenue results through creative strategy development and oversight of tactical execution. I’m an imaginative thinker balanced by a propensity for efficiency to maximize bottom line profits ensuring a significant impact for critical causes. I served as a member of the national senior management team for one of the largest and most highly respected voluntary health organizations in America. In this role, I developed and led the implementation of numerous projects resulting in millions in revenue growth and profits. Funds were judiciously used to finance life-saving cancer research and improve the quality of life for patients. In South Africa, I designed and participated in fundraising campaigns raising a total of ZAR to support various projects for the literacy organization EduFun. This included a personal fundraising effort to assist disadvantaged students with their nightly studies. Funds raised enabled the purchase of over 600 solar lamps for students living in shacks without electricity. I also engaged EduFun with an internationally recognized online fundraising and donor management platform allowing for ongoing donor support from across the world. While living in Geneva, I provided pro-bono professional revenue development consultation to an NGO providing resources for parents and educators to support children with learning differences. In my current role with Rise Against Hunger, I work with global corporate partners to secure funding to provide nutritious meals, sustainable agriculture programs and life-changing medical aid for populations facing hunger. My responsibilities include new business development, creating mutually beneficial partnerships, relationship stewardship, cause marketing, and delivery of virtual and in-person worldwide employee engagement programs.
