Katie Kessler
Senior Donor Advisor
Katie Kessler is a donor advisor for Lutheran World Relief. She has fundraised and volunteered in some capacity since she was 10 years old, but she never met such selfless people who love their neighbors until she joined LWR in 2022.
Katie was drawn to LWR because its mission is bold, ambitious and optimistic. Every day, she finds a new reason to be in awe of her colleagues for their expertise, courage and commitment to changing the world.
As a donor advisor, Katie is deeply grateful to get to know donors’ hearts and be a witness to how they choose to express their love. After all, she thinks of fundraising as an enterprise of the heart: life-giving, life-changing and lifesaving. She hopes that by working with her, donors will feel safe to be themselves and ask questions.
Katie earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Towson University and lives in Baltimore, Maryland, with her husband.
