Donor Stewardship & Engagement Manager
email: annika[at]ofrf.org
Annika Sampson (she/her) has worked at the intersection of storytelling, food systems, agriculture, and community-building for the last ten years. Her career and life experience have taken her from her home island in Maine to the mountains of India & Nepal to the Twin Cities (where she studied at Macalester College and learned how to survive -50° winters) to Bellingham, Washington, where she now lives. Through her work at food businesses and agriculture-focused nonprofits, she has built skills in fundraising, communications & marketing, writing, and event planning, as well as side-hustled in gardening and landscaping. Annika is passionate about growing a more resilient and equitable food system through transparency, integrity, and heart. She serves as the Communications & Development liaison on the board of the Chuckanut Center, a local community garden and education nonprofit in Northwest Washington. When not at work, she’s most likely riding her bike, immersed in a book, on the soccer field, or cooking and sharing a good meal with those she loves.
