Noah Salata

As a trust-based advocate, Noah focuses on using philanthropy and grantmaking to contribute to healthier and more connected communities.  As a senior grantmaking and community engagement specialist for the American Family Insurance Dreams Foundation, he believes that the antiquated and systemic challenges of philanthropy can be reduced through creating collaborative relationships, centering equity, and intentional power-sharing. In support of a better philanthropic ecosystem, he also serves as a member of the Advisory Board at the University of Wisconsin’s Center for Community and Nonprofit Studies, the programming committee for the Wisconsin Philanthropy Network, and on the board of directors for the Center for Community Stewardship and the Marquette Neighborhood Association.  Noah has undergraduate degrees in Communications and English and received his MBA in Organizational Leadership from Norwich University.  He loves calling Madison, WI home and is always willing to talk more about unrestricted funding.
