Stephanie Roth

Stephanie Roth, a Principal at Klein and Roth Consulting, has been a trainer, writer, consultant, and coach on fundraising, board development, and other organizational development issues for more than 25 years. Stephanie has worked in fundraising since discovering feminism in high school, and working her first dream job for a reproductive rights organization in New York City in 1980. She learned very quickly that foundation funding was hard to come by for organizations working on controversial causes, but that all kinds of people wanted to get involved — with their time and their money — to make change. Later she was co-director of New York Women Against Rape, and after making her way back to California, helped build an individual donor program at the Center for Third World Organizing (CTWO) and became the Editor of the Grassroots Fundraising Journal. Stephanie was a co-founder of GIFT (Grassroots Institute for Fundraising Training) and was one of the organizers of the first Money for our Movements Social Justice Fundraising Conference in 2006.
