The WaWF collective is a wealth of knowledge, experience, perspective, and expertise. We’re excited to continue this Member focused series: Member 2 Member, where members are invited to nominate their fellow members to present on a subject with which they hold special proficiency or expertise.

Join us Thursday, May 8th, at 4:30PM to hear from one of WaWF’s longtime members, Kathy Edwards, on her life’s work of philanthropy and the decision to sunset her family foundation, Cedarmere Foundation. Kathy will be joined in conversation by a fellow WaWF member.

Kathy Edwards co-founded the Cedarmere Foundation in 2004. She has a PhD in Human and Organizational Systems and has spent decades working with nonprofit organizations, both as a board member and as an organization development consultant.  These experiences are what created her passion for building the capacity of the nonprofits in our community that work so hard to improve the lives of all who live here. She previously served as the Co-Chair of the Statewide Capacity Collaborative. Kathy has four children and 11 grandchildren.  When she’s not spending time with family or promoting capacity building grants within the philanthropic community, she loves to ski, play tennis, hike, bike, read, take photographs, and go for long urban walks.
