Brenna Kupferman
Senior Grants Manager
Meet Brenna! As a Senior Grants Manager at ActionAid USA, she blends her deep understanding of the nonprofit sector with her passion for music. Her expertise shines through her work with US-based foundations and other grant makers to provide support for ActionAid's work around the world.
Brenna's extensive background in fundraising, non-profit management, and strategic planning was honed during her previous tenure at ActionAid USA, where she worked tirelessly to support the organization's mission from 2001-2015.

But Brenna's talents don't stop there. When she’s not developing and implementing sustainable organizational, fundraising, and communications plans, Brenna can be found teaching piano, performing as a singer/songwriter, or delving into the latest fantasy and sci-fi novels. Her daily yoga and meditation practices help keep her centered and focused on making a positive impact in the world.
