Sarah Sondossi

As the Engagement Coordinator, Sarah supports program, grant, and scholarship administration and acts as the initial point of contact for public inquiries and program applicants.

With a B.A. in Behavioral Science from San Jose State University, Sarah began her career working in human resources before moving into nonprofit programs. Sarah holds the belief that time is our most precious resource, and she would like to spend hers making a positive impact within her community. Having been raised in Santa Cruz County, Sarah is thrilled to serve with the Community Foundation team and use her skillset – her eye for aesthetics, her mind for data and technology, and her affinity for project coordination – to do just that.

Sarah is a big fan of sketching, painting, yoga, supporting the local art scene, and consuming too much caffeine too late in the day. If she’s not out and about, she can usually be found enjoying life (and maybe streaming a show or two) with her partner, Xander, and their dog, Odin, at their home in the Santa Cruz mountains.
