Team Member Josie Gray

I have spent my career as a fundraiser for nonprofit (NGO) organizations such as universities, scientific research facilities, environmental advocacy groups and a housing charity. Today, I solicit donations and grants at Beacon Institute to support real-time sensor networks for the study of rivers and education curricula in environmental science, mathematics and engineering. I also volunteer for a nature park and a mountain-hiking trail organization. I earned a Bachelors Degree from Bard College and a certificate in Conservation Biology from Columbia University. My partner Bennett and I own an old house that we spent 10 years renovating. I am passionate about environmental issues, politics, art and culture. I enjoy skiing, hiking with my dog, gardening, cycling, and cooking with good friends.
