Philanthropy AssistantChristie Ellis’ Eastern Iowa roots run deep. Not only did she grow up in Cascade, she also calls that small town home today. As the Community Foundation’s philanthropy assistant, her work has a direct impact on her family and her neighbors.
Christie has worked in philanthropy since the early 2000s, primarily helping college and universities across the country with their fundraising. Today, she is happy to apply her experience and expertise to supporting the Dubuque region.
