Kim Lewis’ three-decade career has been devoted to philanthropy and giving back to the community. Her expertise includes encouraging collaborative efforts, building initiatives to address community needs, and connecting donors with causes that match their interests. From fundraising and communications to program management and design, Kim's style encourages grant seekers and grantees to understand and champion their work, in addition to providing leadership and training.
She has raised millions of dollars to improve the health of communities, help find a cure, empower youth, provide leadership opportunities, create safe environments for those that can’t save themselves, and deliver hope for medically fragile children and their families.
Kim started her fundraising career in Kindergarten when she sold her first box of Girl Scout cookies. She quickly progressed to an entrepreneur with lemonade stands benefitting her local animal shelter. She spent the majority of her career as a successful fundraising and marketing executive. She is a strategic leader who has orchestrated innovative marketing and fundraising campaigns through powerful relationship-building and generation of significant business and collaborative opportunities. Kim is best known for her community connections. Whether it’s connecting someone to something they need, someone they need to know or something inside themselves that is waiting to be brought forth.
She learned early on that community support is empowering, and that guides her today. She is past president of Mesa County Women’s Network and a member of Junior League. She supports foster-adoption organizations like CASA and Project 1.27.
Kim received her MBA and Bachelor of Arts in Telecommunications from Pepperdine University.
When she isn’t wearing her “pastor’s wife” hat, Kim enjoys wine and live music, hiking with her dog, kayaking, and volunteering with her church. She is creative, adventurous and a risk taker with new physically challenging adventures. She is passionate about living a toxin-free lifestyle and educates others on the health benefits of eliminating food, products and people who don’t help you live your best life through her Journey to Joy & Wellness business. She considers herself a peace, love and social justice ambassador and is currently pursuing a Deaconess certification from United Methodist Church. She is a self-published author of They've Always Been Nice to Me, which is a tribute to her Uncle Randy who is intellectually challenged and has Cerebral Palsy and lives a meaningful life.
