Theresa Haenn
Senior Director, Major Gifts Development
Theresa Haenn is a donor advisor for Lutheran World Relief. She has worked in the nonprofit sector for more than 25 years and joined LWR in 2018.
Theresa’s work is inspired by a quote from Margaret Mead: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” She hopes that in working with her, donors will feel inspired by how God brings people together to be a force for good in the world. She is grateful she gets to help people be that force for positive change.
She earned a business degree from Rosemont College and an MBA from Drexel University. Although she spent most of her life in suburban Philadelphia, Theresa and her husband moved to the Boston, Massachusetts, area in 2020 to be closer to their son and grandchildren.
