We are delighted to announce the appointment of Sarah McGee as Development Director. Sarah joined us this month from the Royal College of Art where she was Principal Gift Officer for nearly five years. She was responsible for developing strategy and leading its global principal gift fundraising activity. Prior to this, she worked as Senior Development Manager for University College London managing an international portfolio and leading its American fundraising efforts. Sarah has significant philanthropic campaign experience in both the US and UK.
As a proud fundraiser, what Sarah values most about the path she has taken is the very important role of aligning an institution’s priorities with a donor’s passions. She has built a career generating income for world-leading institutions to break boundaries through launching robust bursary programmes and building state-of-the-art facilities to enhance the overall student experience.
Sarah is looking forward to progressing the Emanuel430 campaign, continuing to embed a culture of philanthropy and furthering the opportunities for alumni. She will be in touch with you over the coming months to learn about your experiences at Emanuel, as well as to share her plans to further engage the wider community to achieve the school’s alumni relations and fundraising goals. If you would like to get in touch with her directly, please feel free to send her an email at sarah.mcgee@emanuel.org.uk.
