Liz Kirkpatrick is the Foundations Funding Coordinator at Strong Towns, where she nurtures relationships with our generous funders and grantees.

She continues to be an advocate for her Appalachian community while living in Columbus, Ohio, after double majoring in Arts Management and City and Regional Planning at the Ohio State University. She has experience in major donor and sponsorship relations, coordinating large-scale events (such as the Dublin Irish Festival), curating public art pieces throughout the Greater Columbus area, and organizing funding for Ohio's robust creative sector.
