New Hampshire Audubon announces the hiring of Angi Francesco as their new director of philanthropy. Francesco is a nonprofit development leader with deep roots in New Hampshire and a longstanding commitment to conservation.
With a career built on fundraising, communications, and community connection, Francesco
brings a passion for helping people feel more deeply connected to the causes they support.
She comes to NH Audubon after serving as the director of development for the Squam Lakes Association. Skills and experience in strategic planning, as well as program and project management, a compliment her breadth of fundraising expertise.
“Angi comes to us with the kind of fundraising sophistication, experience, leadership, and
energy we need,” says NH Audubon President, Doug Bechtel. In addition, she has long-
standing ties to New Hampshire, having grown up in the Lakes Region. “This combination of expertise and familiarity with New Hampshire will bring huge benefits to our work and mission and we are pleased to have her join our dedicated team.”
Francesco expresses her connection to her new role — and to conservation — as something
deeply personal.
“New Hampshire’s natural landscapes and wildlife are woven into both our communities and our identities,” she said. “I’m honored to join NH Audubon at such an exciting moment in this organization’s history, and I look forward to helping advance the mission through meaningful philanthropic engagement and strong community partnerships.”
