Thashawna McSon

Manager of Grants and Institutional Engagement

Thashawna (she/her) is passionate about serving community and fostering meaningful connections. She’s excited to build support for SPF and its community partners through managing grants and corporate engagement opportunities – connecting companies to our partners with service opportunities in the community.

While California-grown, she has called Seattle home for more than a decade, working in public health within local government, academia, and regional nonprofits. Most of her career has focused on increasing access to resources, rebuilding policy and process, and co-building spaces for folks to connect and feel supported, where they work, play, and live.

She’s a graduate of California State University, Fullerton, and holds a bachelor’s in Kinesiology, a minor in Spanish Language and Literature, and certificates in grant writing and nonprofit management.

Outside of this work, she loves walking in nature, going to breweries, and searching for the best carne asada burrito in town.
