Kristen Moses

VP of Planning & Resource Development at Total Action for Progress

Kristen Moses fell into the world of community action by chance when she accepted a job in TAP’s planning department as a planner and grant writer in 2005. Now she is responsible for running that same department as the vice president of planning and resource development. Responsible for raising between $15-18 million every year to support TAP’s efforts, the nine-member planning department serves as the agency’s economic engine, primary think-tank, de facto publications department, occasional editorial board, and sometime pot-stirrers and spear-rattlers.

Ms. Moses received her undergraduate degree in English from the University of Virginia and her master’s degree in art history from Indiana University-Bloomington. Along the way, she drove a transit bus; learned how to fence; worked as a photo and illustration researcher; taught high school; and edited textbooks, museum didactics, and more of her friends’ theses and term papers than she cares to remember. She is, among other things, a weightlifter, knitter, and kung-fu practitioner. An avid reader, she recently rediscovered her love of comic books and graphic novels and yearns for a piece of original pen-and-ink comic book art to frame and display somewhere in her home.
