As a founding member and long-time volunteer on the board, Andrea has been part of urgewald from the very beginning. Since 2000, she has supported the team in the areas of finance and fundraising. Ensuring urgewald’s financial stability and independence has become her mission:
“In the beginning, we were a team of five or six people, today there are more than 75. Accompanying this growth and managing the financing for such a large team is challenging — but that’s why I’ve never been bored in all these years.”
The establishment of the urgewald Foundation in 2019 marked an important milestone for the future of the organisation. Andrea played a key role in setting up and further developing the hybrid foundation and is herself a founding member and board member.
Andrea is a fundraiser (FA), major gifts manager (Major Giving Institute) and serves as a member of the Ethics Committee of the German Fundraising Association.
In her free time, she enjoys bungee fitness, 4-D training, swimming and yoga. She relaxes on holiday in Sweden, enjoying good food and red wine.
