The organization, under Owen, also shifted “from transactional to transformational giving, a vibrant culture of collaboration was launched through FutureMakers Coalition and a new physical space in a renovated 1920s’s train depot was created,” the organization states.Īccording to Collaboratory’s website, it manages 634 individual donor funds with assets of $181.3 million. Under Owen’s leadership, Collaboratory’s assets have grown by $130 million, the release states. Owen joined Collaboratory in 2011, after seven years as CEO of Community Cooperative. “She is leaving Collaboratory in excellent hands for its next chapter.” “We will forever be grateful for Sarah’s vision, expertise, professionalism and leadership in transforming Southwest Florida’s leading giving institution into a place where bold ideas are nurtured and supported,” Collaboratory Board Chair Aysegul Timur, vice president and vice provost, strategy and program innovation at FGCU, says in the statement. Owen plans to focus on her family and a new professional opportunity after she leaves the organization. She will work with the Collaboratory board and a search committee on the transition to new leadership over the next few months, the release adds. Owen has been at the helm of the organization, formerly known as the Southwest Florida Community Foundation, since 2011, according to a statement. One of the most prominent nonprofit executives in Southwest Florida, Sarah Owen, is stepping down from her positions as president and CEO of Collaboratory, the leading community foundation in Fort Myers.
