PEAK Grantmaking
Satonya Fair, President & CEO
We are thrilled to announce that the PEAK Grantmaking Board of Directors has hired Satonya Fair to be the first President and CEO of PEAK Grantmaking.
A leader in the grantmaking field, Satonya brings with her a decade of engagement with PEAK, from her longtime conference participation as speaker, sponsor, and co-chair, to her dynamic service on the Board and executive committee. Her contributions and her leadership have been integral to many of PEAK’s successes, and to some of the field’s boldest stands.
Satonya’s experience with the social sector, and its people, stands in tandem with her deep understanding of PEAK’s membership and mission. She has served as Vice President/Chief Philanthropy Officer at The Executive Leadership Council, as Director of Grants Management at The Annie E. Casey Foundation, and in management roles in community relations at Citi. Satonya earned her JD from the University of Cincinnati and her bachelor’s degree in psychology and political science from Miami University (Ohio). She is a graduate of the Career Pathways executive leadership program at the Council on Foundations and is a certified Prosci(R) Change Management practitioner. In addition, she is an active volunteer with many initiatives, including the Technology Association of Grantmakers and the Maryland Philanthropy Network. PEAK works tirelessly to drive change in the practice of philanthropy and provide a framework for equitable grantmaking. Satonya is the ideal leader for this work, and we look forward to working with her and PEAK’s exceptional staff to guide grantmaking practice toward inclusivity, equity, and understanding.
