Rasmuson Foundation Promotes Partnership Manager

As Rasmuson Foundation celebrates seventy years of investing in Alaska communities, it is strengthening partnerships by creating the new role of Partnership Manager. Sydney Copley, as the first person hired for the job, supports the development of strategic relationships to advance the foundation’s mission of empowering Alaskans to help each other.

A lifetime Alaskan from North Pole, Copley assumes the new role after serving the foundation for more than six years, most recently as a project manager. She is a board member of the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and, prior to joining the Rasmuson Foundation, she was a board member of the Fairbanks Montessori School and worked under three administrations at the Office of the Governor for the State of Alaska.

“Her experience at the foundation leading large projects and working closely with our partners will benefit all of us,” says Tasha Pineda, vice president of strategy for the foundation. “Beyond grantmaking, Rasmuson works to connect and convene Alaskans, and Sydney is a natural fit for this role.”
