Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne Announces New Leadership Roles Advancing Women’s Fund and Grantmaking Impact

The Community of Greater Fort Wayne (CFGFW) is excited to announce two key updates to our team. These updates highlight our ongoing commitment to advancing the Women’s Fund and our mission to conduct meaningful grantmaking that fosters a more vibrant community.  

Chynna Presley Joins the Women’s Fund as Economic Security Specialist

We are thrilled to welcome Chynna Presley as our new Economic Security Specialist with the Women’s Fund. Chynna brings a wealth of experience and a passion for advancing opportunities for women and girls. She has served on the Young Women & Girls Committee for two years. She has held leadership roles as interim executive director for a small nonprofit, director of intercultural education at Huntington University, and a consultant for social service middle management. Chynna is also a frequent guest speaker for Girlz Rock and a voice talent for STAR 88.3.

In her new role, Chynna will strengthen relationships with corporate partners to enhance participation in key initiatives such as the Compass Survey and Take a Girl to Work Day. She will also be pivotal in launching our new internship program in the summer of 2025, designed to support college-aged young women entering historically male-dominated industries.
