Kristin Schneider

Kristin Schneider is an experienced nonprofit professional with more than 17 years in fundraising, donor relations, and organizational management. She currently works in the University Development Office at Harvard University, supporting major fundraising initiatives focused on securing eight- and nine-figure gifts to advance priorities identified by the President, Provost, and Deans. Her role includes high-level administrative and logistical support, coordinating development events, and cultivating relationships with alumni, volunteers, and faculty.

Prior to joining Harvard, Kristin served as Development Associate for the Goodnow Library Foundation, where she managed donor stewardship, oversaw financial operations, and led the planning of annual galas and community events. Earlier in her career, she held positions in accounting management, project coordination, and sales administration, building a broad skill set in financial oversight, event logistics, and team leadership.

Kristin is dedicated to advancing the Foundation’s vision and supporting the Library as a welcoming and vibrant hub for the Sudbury community—a mission she deeply believes in.

Outside of work and volunteering, Kristin enjoys traveling with her husband John to visit their two sons, who are currently attending college. She lives in Sudbury with John and their yellow lab, Lacey.
