Kate Brumsickle

Philanthropy Membership Manager

Kate grew up on San Juan Island, where she spent her childhood with nature, exploring the forests and swimming in the ocean. She later moved to Seattle to attend the University of Washington, earning a degree in Public Health before returning home to the islands she loves.

Before joining the San Juan Preservation Trust in October 2025 as Philanthropy Membership Manager, Kate spent six years with a global nonprofit, where she honed her skills and discovered a passion for the behind-the-scenes work that powers philanthropy. In her current role, she supports the SJPT Philanthropy team through database management and support for campaign coordination and donor engagement.

Outside of work, Kate enjoys exploring local trails, reading, boating, gardening, and spending time with friends and family.
