Lorene has spent her career working to improve the quality of life for the most vulnerable communities. She held a senior position at the California Community Foundation, where she advised family foundations on strategic grant-making, developed a program-related investment fund and set strategy for fundraising and partnerships. Lorene is on the board of Two Bit Circus Foundation, The SAM Initiative and an advisor at SidePorch Consulting. Lorene holds a master of social work degree (University of Southern California).

Lorene lives in Laguna Niguel with her husband and three children, Rhett (5), Cora (2) and Clarke (1). In her free time, she loves to hike with her family, work out and eat her favorite food, sushi.

Lorene joined Impact100 because she believes “We have the ability to do more together than we can alone.” Giving circles are a powerful tool that bring women together to learn about issues in their community and leverages your investment to make a greater impact. Lorene recently moved to Orange County and is excited to learn about new nonprofits by participating in the first giving cycle of Impact100.
