People in Fundraising, Season 2, Ep. 15: Tina Tong, Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery

Originally recorded in summer 2023: Tina M. Tong 湯淑敏 shares her story of civic, human rights, and nonprofit activism and various roles in Hong Kong, Boston, and Toronto. She is currently the Grants & Foundations Officer at The Power Plant of Contemporary Art on the Toronto waterfront. We first connected more than a decade ago via NEDRA (New England Development Research Assoc)

Tina has worked in independent schools, private higher ed. institutions, arts, and Habitat for Humanity Hong Kong. For all these reasons and more, I described Tina as a global citizen in our interview. Through various roles, shop sizes, funding differences (government vs. private citizens), and locations, Tina has an incredible breadth of experience! She also mentions the mentoring help from Amber W. Countis, bCRE, a "People in Fundraising" guest from season 1.
