JULIE REAGAN, VP OF ADVANCEMENT
As VP of Advancement, Reagan is responsible for executing several aspects of the CFBC mission, including identifying community needs and grantmaking impact, executing all CFBC grants, brand amplification and development, and continuing to manage the Women of Impact Boone County philanthropic giving group. In the past four years as Director of Marketing for CFBC, Reagan was instrumental in increasing the media footprint for CFBC throughout the county and communicating local needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. By increasing awareness throughout the county, CFBC has built new relationships with Boone County residents and educated them on who CFBC is and how they can get involved through volunteering, donating, joining Women of Impact, and more.
“There are so many ways people can get involved with the work of the Community Foundation of Boone County to address local, unmet needs. We have an amazing group of nonprofits serving our Boone County residents and we love to see our communities come together and work collectively as a whole – to make a major impact in helping those in need,” Reagan says.
ALI MAXEY, DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION
As Director of Education, Maxey is responsible for all areas of education within the foundation, including continuing to execute $250,000+ in scholarships/year, managing relationships with scholarship fund advisors, school corporations, and education foundations, organizing several of CFBC’s programs, including the Boone County Nonprofit Network and Connect Boone County, and supporting CFBC community leadership. Over the past five years in her previous role as Director of Scholarships, two of Maxey’s greatest accomplishments are successfully increasing awareness of vocational awards to all parts of the county and building a strong base of relationship and partnership with our schools. As a result, CFBC continually received an increased number of applicants for our more than 55 scholarship funds.
“Without a great relationship with schools, we wouldn’t be able to impact so many students and support their families with the expense of post secondary educational expenses. At CFBC, we are proud and grateful to have the support of our community and donors, and know that – together – we maintain growth, positivity, and excitement for the future, Maxey says.
