Staff & Board

Emily Chu grew up in Seattle and comes from an education background, working as a high school English teacher for over a decade before coming to SJF. As a participant in two Giving Projects (Environmental Justice in 2017 and Queer Justice in 2022), she has experienced firsthand the transformative power of this model of funding. She is excited to bring her facilitation skills to the crucial work of moving resources to grassroots organizing. Emily also loves to read, spend time with her two small snuggly dogs, and take naps.
