Megan Ellis has been named regional director of development for the northwestern and western regions for the North Carolina Community Foundation, according to Beth Boney Jenkins, vice president for development.

 

Ellis has been serving the 18 counties comprising the NCCF�s western and northwestern regions in a similar capacity for more than three years, and her title has been updated to more accurately reflect the scope and depth of her duties, Jenkins said.

 

As NCCF�s regional director of development, Ellis works to identify and cultivate donors to increase giving throughout the region by building relationships with professional advisors, families, individuals, businesses, other foundations and nonprofit organizations, with a goal of building and growing permanent charitable assets, primarily endowment funds.

 

Ellis was a major gifts and special events coordinator before joining the foundation in 2013. She serves on the board of directors of the Women's Fund of the Blue Ridge, is the vice-president of the board of directors of Beanstalk Community Theatre, the former president of the board of directors of the Children�s Playhouse in Boone and served as treasurer for the Cancer Resource Alliance of the Seby B. Jones Regional Cancer Center. She attended the University of South Carolina and Temple University, where she graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor�s degree in English. She also earned a certificate in nonprofit management from Duke University.
