Simone Moran is the Director of Annual and Leadership Giving at York University. In this role, Simone oversees the incredible growing team responsible for solicitations and stewardship of all annual and leadership level gifts (gifts under $25,000) for York, Canada’s third largest university. Prior to joining York in 2022, Simone spent the majority of her career focused in annual giving working with a large number of client partners mainly within higher education as a member of the RNL team. With RNL she supported various roles from delivery to senior account management and strategy support for broad annual giving programs. Simone is a very nerdy fan of annual and leadership giving, and the fun involved with using data to inspire creative strategies and further enhance the positive change that annual and leadership giving fuels.
