Muthoni Kariuki

From childhood, Muthoni fell in love with nonprofits working alongside her parents, who valued the power of giving back to the communities they lived in. Her parents instilled in her that our lives become meaningful through the impact we make on others, more so than living and working just for ourselves.

Muthoni’s lived experience as an African Canadian Professional Fundraiser, mother, and community advocate informs her desire for equity, inclusion, and social justice. For the last decade, Muthoni has been advocating for a more just and equitable Canadian fundraising sector. Muthoni is a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) holds an Honours Bachelor of Science (HBSc) degree from the University of Toronto and a Master’s degree in Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership (MPNL) from Carleton University.

When Muthoni isn’t fundraising, she spends her most important, valued time with her family.
