Alyssa Pinkerton
Alyssa has been fundraising for nonprofit news and media in the West for the last 15 years. She served as the director of development for High Country News, based out of Paonia, Colorado, and supported philanthropic projects as a contract and volunteer fundraiser.
She loves building relationships with donors and funders, bringing their passions and resources to match the mission of The Colorado Sun's journalism: to produce the highest-quality journalism so that all of Coloradans can be more engaged and informed.
She was born and raised on the East Coast of Florida, but slowly made her way out West, making her home in the foot of the Rocky Mountains, where she raised her family (including two delightful humans and a handful of plucky chickens). She is exhaustively creative with food, art, movement, crafts, theater, gardening, and loves being outside on a mountain, a trail or in a body of water.
