Mike Shumann | Development and Outreach Coordinator)

My main responsibilities as Development and Outreach Coordinator are…

To seek donations from generous people so LEAP can do the work that we do. Individuals, foundations, corporations, social organizations, you name it – I’m happy to talk to anyone who wants to support affordable housing in Idaho. I also keep our donors informed about the work that we’re doing and how important it is to Idaho.

When I’m not working I am…

Playing bass in a rock band, riding my bike, playing guitar while my wife sings, kayaking, or (trying) to train our young cattle dog mix.

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

I stumbled into nonprofit work by accident more than 20 years ago, and I’ve never left. After all that time, LEAP is inspiring because housing is a basic human need, and we tackle head-on the lack of affordable housing. I like being part of the community and this is one way of contributing to it.
