Irene Loy - Fundraising and Outreach Manager

My main responsibilities as Fundraising and Outreach Manager at leap housing are… 

As Fundraising and Outreach Manager, my main responsibilities are writing/managing our grants and heading up our community outreach. My background is in nonprofit fundraising and outreach for missions spanning housing, healthcare, education, and the arts. I am especially excited about hosting LEAP events and getting the word out about our incredible projects through community events. I have two master’s degrees, and I am completing my low-residency doctoral program.

When I’m not working I am…

Making and performing in theatre, doing improv, writing, hiking, traveling, and enjoying good food and bevvies with Dear Ones. I also really enjoy going to see performing arts shows, especially theatre, dance, and music!

I’m in nonprofit, and specifically inspired by LEAP because…

I need work that is meaningful and based on solid values. New to Idaho, I found LEAP early on as an outstanding nonprofit in the Boise area, so I am thrilled to have come on staff as part of my nonprofit service journey. I am inspired by the scope of this work, that the vision and practice of LEAP is both statewide and regional in scope, creative in the ways we approach affordable housing. The entrepreneurial spirit of this nonprofit is especially impressive, as we navigate uncharted waters.
