Simon Youth Foundation is proud to announce Eric Chamberlain as the new Major Gifts Officer. He will be responsible for the Foundation’s efforts in developing and executing external individual and corporate gifts. He is very excited to get to work.
“As someone who believes deeply that all people, regardless of their life circumstances, should have the opportunity to obtain the lifelong emotional, intellectual, and economic benefits of high-school and higher education, I am delighted and honored to be joining the team of like-minded professionals at SYF who ignite hope each and every day,” said Chamberlain.
A graduate of Lycoming College (Williamsport, PA), Eric earned the distinction of Certified Association Executive (CAE) from the American Society of Association Executives in 2008. Chamberlain is also heavily involved in the Indianapolis non-profit community. He is a mentor with the Starfish Initiative enhancing college access and readiness for disadvantaged high school students, a board member of the Exodus Refugee Immigration Services assisting those fleeing religious or political persecution with the process of rebuilding their lives, and a board member with Play Ball Indiana to develop life skills of inner city youth through the game of baseball. He has worked at Tau Kappa Epsilon International Fraternity as a Regional Director, WFYI Public Broadcasting as a Community Ambassador and, most recently, as the Associate Executive Director of Volunteer Services for Delta-Upsilon International Fraternity.
