James Lindquist

As Director of Development, James Lindquist draws upon more than a decade of experience stabilizing and improving the lives of people living with HIV / AIDS (PLWHA) and others. He built a strong foundation in development and community relations at Our House, an AIDS Service Organization (ASO) in Oregon, before a successful role in development at Angel View in Palm Springs.

Making an Impact at Angel View in Palm Springs

Most recently, James worked as Director of Development for Angel View in Palm Springs, an organization whose mission is helping children and adults with disabilities reach their maximum potential.

James worked to strengthen and build relationships with other non-profits, chambers, and global network groups like Rotary. During his time, Angel View broke its own record for fundraising in a two-year period.

Angel View has 22 resale stores supporting 19 residential homes, a Day Program, and an Outreach Program that helps kids 18 and younger stay in their homes instead of going into residential care.

One of his favorite memories is seeing how much students enjoyed their school after he convinced Home Depot Palm Springs to provide a major remodel after it had been decaying for many years.

Prior to Angel View, James was Director of Development for Friends of the Palm Springs Animal Shelter.

Roots serving ASO Our House in Portland, Oregon

Over almost a decade, James made valuable contributions at Our House in Portland, Oregon. As he built a deep understanding about the additional aspects of care needed by PLWHA, he became passionate about ensuring access to life sustaining care and guidance for anyone who cannot afford it.

Our House provides healthcare, housing, therapeutic activities, peer recovery mentorship, and other vital services to PLWHA.

James grew in his time with the organization, starting as Events Coordinator in 2008 and earning a promotion to Events Manager. He went on to become Associate Director of Development, and then Director of Development.
