Entryway is pleased to announce that Renee Rivard has joined the organization as Director of Development, serving on the national External Affairs team.
Renee brings more than 20 years of experience in nonprofit development and a strong track record of building sustainable revenue to support mission-driven organizations. Known for her relational approach to fundraising, she has successfully led multimillion-dollar campaigns and significantly expanded organizational impact, including scaling revenue by more than 300% during her tenure at Safe Haven Ministries.
