Frida is a grants management professional with more than 20 years of experience
in philanthropy and the nonprofit sector. Throughout her career, she has helped
foundations strengthen their grantmaking by streamlining processes, building
practical grants management systems, and developing tools that support
thoughtful decision-making and effective stewardship. Before joining Park
Foundation, Frida served as Senior Grants Manager at the Roy and Patricia Disney
Family Foundation, where she oversaw the full lifecycle of grantmaking and supported a range of
funding strategies. Earlier in her career, she held grantmaking and program roles at the Annenberg
Foundation and The California Endowment, and worked in community-based human services with
Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles. Frida believes philanthropy is more than making grants; it is
about building lasting relationships, listening to communities, and creating processes that enable
foundations and grantee partners to do their best work.
