Hi, I’m Chanda Lockhart.

[she/her]

I love fundraising and marketing. I might be the last fundraiser who believes (most) events are still worth it (if you know what your goal is going in). I believe we should always ask, and the worst thing that can happen is a “no.”

I bring two decades of fundraising, marketing and leadership experience from small, grassroots to mid-size nonprofit organizations with missions serving PK-12 education, LGBTQIA+ services, food access and security, and the arts.

I’m excited to start working with you on your next project!

Current and Recent Clients

I love working with San Francisco Bay Area-based nonprofit organizations that are serving youth, families, educators, and historically and multiply-marginalized folks. These are just a few of teams I’ve worked with: Her Idea, Parents for Public Schools SF, Positive Coaching Alliance, Queer Arts Featured and We Care Children.

  • Her Idea mentors youth as they pursue an idea or passion through a real-world project of their own design. We support their learning and skills development, provide access to funding for their projects, and help them build a network of community support.

  • Queer A.F. features the work of Bay Area artists across all mediums with a focus on the work of underrepresented, disenfranchised, and emerging local Queer artists and makers, while minimizing financial barriers. We are a place of creativity, connection, and healing for the Queer community and those who love us.

  • Mariposa Kids’ mission is to support and inspire children’s natural curiosity and independence through free play during their out-of-school time.
