Natalie Brinkman

NATALIE BRINKMAN joined the Together Rising staff in 2021. As Diligence Team Lead, Natalie leads a team of staff and volunteers who, collectively, are responsible for assuring Together Rising is being a responsible steward of the funds with which they have been entrusted by their donors. The Diligence Team reviews all applications, researches crises, identifies potential partners already doing good work in the crises, completes diligence reports on every potential grant recipient, assists in the execution of grants, and assists in working with partner organizations. Natalie was drawn to this work after having her twins. Feeling the challenges that new motherhood and raising a family presented, she knew her mission was to become part of a collective of women who help each other navigate the world. Natalie has a degree in Politics and lives in Columbus, Ohio with her husband and twins.
