Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation is pleased to announce that Nicky McIntyre has joined the organization as Vice President of Philanthropic Services. 

With more than 30 years of leadership experience in philanthropy, fundraising, and foundation management, McIntyre brings deep expertise in resource mobilization, major donor strategy, organizational leadership, and advancing equity and opportunity through charitable giving. 

Most recently, McIntyre served as Chief Executive Officer of the Foundation for a Just Society (FJS) in New York City, where she led a significant expansion of the foundation's impact, increasing annual grantmaking from $17 million to $62 million over eight years. FJS is a domestic and global funder focused on advancing the rights and well-being of women, girls, and LGBTQ people and promoting equity for individuals facing gender and racial discrimination. 

Prior to FJS, McIntyre served as Executive Director of Mama Cash, the world's oldest international fund dedicated to gender equity, and previously led development and communications efforts at the Global Fund for Women. She holds a Bachelor's degree in French and History from Oxford University and a Master's degree in Urban Affairs and Urban Planning from Hunter College, City University of New York.
