Terry
Stevens
Terry Stevens is the
foundation’s Administrative Coordinator and has been with the Foellinger
Foundation for 5 years. In addition to providing administrative support
to board members, Terry serves as the Foundation's internal information
technology resource. She also coordinates building and security services
and monitors administrative contracts. Terry is part of the team that
develops the Foundation's communication materials. She reviews and logs
in grant reports, checks for compliance, and conducts related internet
research.
She says that it is sometimes
a challenge switching from right brain and left brain issues. One minute
she is logging in progress reports and the next minute she is dealing
with ceiling leaks! She is looking forward to the Foundation's 50th
anniversary next year because she is working on a special project for
the celebration.
Shelly
McVea
Shelly McVea is the Grants Assistant and has been with the
Foellinger Foundation for nearly two years. Shelly processes all grants
from intake throughout the life cycle of the grant. She tracks and
generates proposals as well as creating and distributing reports to
staff and board members.
Shelly says that her job is
rewarding in the aspect that there are so many organizations that do
good in our community and it is refreshing to know that the Foellinger
Foundation helps to support these organizations. She also says it is
rewarding to see how children and families are affected by the work that
the Foundation supports.
Darryl
Olson
Darryl Olson is the Director of Finance and Administration and has
been with the Foellinger Foundation for almost three years. He oversees
the Foundation's financial and tax reporting, administration, annual
audit, and investment portfolio. He also conducts an assessment of
grantees' financial status and looks at the impact of financial trends
on grantees.
Because of the limited
Foundation staff, Darryl assumes a number of different hats. Challenges
and opportunities bring him a lot of personal fulfillment. Darryl is
inspired by the dedication of the other staff members and the commitment
of the organizations with which the Foellinger Foundation works.
Dawn
Martz
Dawn Martz is the Senior Program Officer and has been with the
Foellinger Foundation for 17 years. Dawn researches all grant
applications coordinating the discussion of them among Foundation staff.
She works with the president and an outside consultant to refine the
Foundation's evaluation system. She reviews progress reports aligning
the data and information submitted.
Dawn is privileged to see
first-hand the work of many nonprofits and to witness the passion,
expertise, and commitment of selfless individuals. She says that it is
rewarding to be involved in a process that focuses Foundation grants on
effective organizations.
Shari
Clemens
You may have seen a new face or heard a new voice at the Foundation.
That would be Shari Clemens, who comes to the Foundation through
OfficeTeam, an employee leasing organization. Shari began working in
August providing administrative support for the team. Shari has over 20
years of experience in the secretarial field. Before starting in her
current role, Shari worked for a nonprofit agency in Ohio for seven
years.
In addition to providing administrative support at the Foundation, Shari

events as well as answering incoming calls from grantees and others. Be
