Haverford Township, PA — The Haverford Township School District Education Foundation (HTSDEF) is proud to announce the appointment of Gina DiMarco as its first Executive Director, marking a transformative milestone in the Foundation’s mission to support excellence and equity in education across the Haverford Township School District.

With more than 15 years of experience in nonprofit leadership, fundraising strategy, and organizational development, DiMarco brings a proven track record of mobilizing resources and fostering community partnerships to strengthen mission-driven institutions. She founded LegacyRISE Consulting, where she has helped dozens of nonprofit clients across the region build capacity, tell their stories, and sustain impact. Prior experience includes serving as Director of Development and Communications for Joseph’s House of Camden as well as TEKnowledge Worldwide.

“We are thrilled to welcome Gina DiMarco to the HTSDEF family,” said Michelle Collier, Board President of HTSDEF. “Her deep experience, visionary leadership, and commitment to educational opportunity make her the ideal person to guide the Foundation into its next chapter.”

In her new role, DiMarco will oversee the Foundation’s fundraising and grantmaking efforts, deepen engagement with local businesses and families, and lead strategic initiatives that support innovation in classrooms, academic enrichment, and creative programming for Haverford students.

“I’m honored to step into this role at such a pivotal time,” said DiMarco. “As a longtime advocate for both children and education, I look forward to working closely with our schools, families, and community partners to expand the resources and opportunities available to all students in Haverford Township.”

The creation of the Executive Director position reflects HTSDEF’s continued growth and long-term vision. Since its founding, the Foundation has awarded more than $500,000 in grants that have funded teacher-led projects, technology enhancements, after-school programs, and more—all made possible through the generous support of the Haverford community.
