Seattle Children's has appointed Dondi Cupp senior vice president and chief development officer. He will oversee the Seattle Children's Foundation and Guild Association starting June 2.
Mr. Cupp has worked for more than 34 years in philanthropy. He previously served as senior vice president and chief development officer at Oregon Health & Science University Foundation, where he led a $2 billion fundraising campaign in 2021, Seattle Children's said in a May 5 news release.
He also worked in philanthropy positions at Western Washington University Foundation in Bellingham and University of Washington in Seattle.
In his new role, he will lead the hospital's philanthropic programming efforts, spur pediatric research and launch community health and wellness efforts.
"Seattle Children’s just ended a very successful 'It Starts With Yes 'campaign, but the work of ensuring access to equitable healthcare for patients regardless of their family's ability to pay never stops," Mr. Cupp said in the news release. "I'm excited to work closely with the hospital's leaders and our generous community to direct the Seattle Children's Foundation into its next chapter of philanthropy and fundraising priorities."
