SOPHIE LEVY
Founder & CEO
For the past ten years, I’ve been bringing people together—often unexpectedly—around shared purpose.
Whether raising funds for a Palestinian-Israeli third space for constructive conversations, canvassing across 12 U.S. cities in the wake of COVID-19, or trekking 2,650 miles along the Pacific Crest Trail, I’ve spent the past decade cultivating meaningful connections and experimenting with tools for collaboration—all in pursuit of common goals.

I am a social-impact-oriented professional with a proven track record in investor relations, philanthropy, and experiential strategy. Most recently, I served as Manager of Investor Relations at New Profit, Inc., where I stewarded $25M+ in philanthropic funds and supported key relationships such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Blue Meridian Partners. Previously, I served as a Team Lead at DialogueDirect, where I managed a high-performing mobile fundraising team and engaged donors for global nonprofits. While based in Jordan, I worked as a Grant Writer for Greening The Camps, securing funding for irrigation infrastructure in refugee camps.
I earned my BA in International Studies — summa cum laude — from American University’s School of International Service, where I concentrated in Conflict Resolution & Cross-Cultural Communication. As part of my undergraduate studies, I completed an Arabic immersion program at the University of Jordan through CET Academic Programs. I am a member of the National Society for Collegiate Scholars, Sigma Iota Rho Honor Society for International Studies, and the academic honor society — Phi Beta Kappa Zeta — at American University.
