Lansing, Mich.-On October 12, 2015, Chong-Anna Canfora will join the
Historical Society of Michigan as the organization's Director of
Development. Ms. Canfora will work from the Society's Lansing-based office,
providing leadership for strategic fund-development initiatives, such as
major and planned giving programs, annual giving, donor stewardship and
recognition programs, grant writing, and public relations related to
development.

"Ms. Canfora comes to us with more than 15 years of development experience,"

proven track record of successful fundraising and also has expertise in
prospective donor research and donor cultivation and administration."

Prior to this position, Ms. Canfora was the owner of New Compass Consulting,
an independent consulting firm that specialized in nonprofit fund
development, political fundraising and project management.

She also worked at Progress Michigan as the Michigan Summit Director and
Michigan Election Coalition Coordinator. In those positions, Ms. Canfora
managed the solicitation of sponsorship funds and monitored a private
foundation grant. 

Previous to those positions, she worked at state agencies and
political-based entities, where she planned and implemented fundraising
programs, administered several multi-million-dollar grants, performed
outreach initiatives, and coordinated fundraising events.

Ms. Canfora holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Michigan State
University and completed two years of graduate-level study in the Sociology
Doctoral Program at Northwestern University.
