Kirsten Koerner

Everyone has a role to play in shaping the lives of young children. At ZERO TO THREE we have the opportunity to provide knowledge and practical resources to empower the important adults in children’s lives to make a positive and lasting difference.

What the mission means to Kirsten

 For me, ZERO TO THREE’s mission is about the potential to change the life trajectories of millions of infants and toddlers. Through our work and those we support, we can nurture this next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers from the very start.  

Professional Background

As Development Director of Grants & Contracts, Kirsten brings 20 years of experience in philanthropic fundraising. In this role, she focuses primarily on public and private foundation support for the breadth of ZERO TO THREE’s projects and initiatives. She previously served in similar roles at Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, National Center for Children and Families, and other nonprofits. 

Future Vision

Kirsten will continue working for the philanthropic support that allows ZERO TO THREE and its partners to best support the early childhood field as needs grow and evolve.
