Bio
Ingrid de Llamas, CFRE, IAP, spent nearly 30 years as a well-respected fundraising and advancement professional whose career was focused on the creation of strategic advancement plans and relationship-building essential to the success and long-term viability of the organizations she represented.
In recent years, Ms. de Llamas has become increasingly involved in family philanthropic work, managing two private funds, including one of her own. She is committed to seeing that first-generation students can attend college, that women have access to safe and affordable healthcare, the needs of our most vulnerable populations are met, and that libraries and the services they provide are available in every neighborhood, especially in our most underserved communities.
For the Phoenix Philanthropy Group panel, Ms. de Llamas’ perspective as both a fundraising professional and a philanthropist will provide a unique vantage point into how donor needs have changed over the years and how relationships with organizations and their teams play a greater role in giving than in the past.
She currently serves the community as the President of the Association of Fundraising Professionals San Diego, managing trustee for a private foundation, and as an active member of Rotary Club 33. Past board service includes the Pasadena Symphony & Pops, San Diego Public Library Foundation (nominating chair, engagement chair), Barrio Logan College Institute, and Living Rooms at the Border (a Casa Familiar project).
Ms. de Llamas chaired the Campaign for the New San Ysidro Library from 2017 through 2019 and, as a volunteer, secured more than $2.7 million in funding for the capital campaign and ongoing programming. The library opened in the Fall of 2019. She also served as the Director of Philanthropy for the Comic-Con Museum, where she raised $17 million dollars for the build-out of the museum in Balboa Park before leaving to serve the Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego County.
Ms. de Llamas has raised more than $100 million in her career for a variety of non-profit organizations. She was named the Asian Business Association’s Volunteer of the Year in 2018, San Diego Public Library Foundation’s Volunteer of the Year for 2019 and was nominated as one of San Diego’s Outstanding Fundraising Professionals in 2019. She graduated from Cal Poly Pomona with a degree in Specialized Communications.
