Lindsay Hill, CEO, Threshold Philanthropy
Lindsay Hill is the Co-CEO of Threshold Philanthropy and an educator, speaker, doula, and mother. In everything that she does, she brings a deep sense of responsibility to support as much repair, transformation, and healing as she can—a responsibility that first led her to a career in the education sector. Lindsay co-founded Threshold to redefine philanthropy as reparative action and investment, to support Black women in a liberatory and healing culture, and to partner with and resource the movements, communities, leaders, healers, artists, and designers who are visioning and building a more just and liberated world. In her role as Co-CEO she develops and refines the organizational vision, leads grantmaking and investment work, supports the development of internal systems and structures, and leads external communications and narrative work. Threshold is showing what philanthropy can accomplish when following the leadership of Black women and Lindsay is honored to contribute to the normalization of centering Black women’s visions across the sector.
