Heather Sullivan is responsible for managing the Sustainer’s Circle (a mid-level donor membership for individuals giving between $1,000 and $10,000) and WRI’s Legacy Society (a donor membership group for individuals making planned gifts for the future).

Heather joined WRI in 2011 and began working on the Development team as a Gift Administrator, processing revenue and building fundraising reports. She now builds relationships and absolutely loves connecting individuals to WRI in meaningful ways. She welcomes donors who join as Sustainer’s Circle or Legacy Society members to learn more about their giving impact with informative WRI briefings and special events.

Prior to joining WRI, Heather worked for The National Gallery of Art for 4 years, where she managed a donor database, handled all major and planned gift entry, and developed a great appreciation for modern art. She has also worked for The Chesapeake Bay Foundation – providing fundraising support to “Save the Bay” and helping restore the coastal communities where she grew up.

Heather received her B.A. in Political Science from Villanova University with a minor in Peace and Justice Studies. She enjoys international travel, kayaking, artistic pursuits, and hearing from WRI donors.
