Cindy Willard

Director Capital Activation

Cindy believes the power of relationships and the intentionality of capital will create a more equitable world. She has deep experience as a Colorado thought leader in philanthropic strategy, grantmaking and program development.

She began her career in journalism and community relations and has since built extensive experience as a catalyst for community capital. In her various positions at community, private and corporate foundations, Cindy acted as a lead investor in the first statewide pay-for-success project in Colorado to expand access to family therapy designed to reduce recidivism. She has facilitated a pipeline for program-related investments and grants that support education and capital for entrepreneurs and employment. And, she led a statewide research project that informed initiatives to support dropout prevention for girls and economic security for low-income, single mothers.

In her work, Cindy draws from her own community involvement, serving on numerous boards and advisory councils including as a Board member for Vital Healthcare Capital, a national CDFI, and a fellow through the Just Economy Institute.

After graduating from the University of Kansas with a BS in journalism with distinction, she went on to earn a Master’s degree in Nonprofit Management from Regis University, where she later served as affiliate faculty in the Global Nonprofit Leadership department. She lives in Colorado with her husband and dog where she is an aspiring ceramicist, outdoor enthusiast, and avid reader.

Emily Allred

Director of Finance and Investments

Emily is inspired by how business acumen is providing access to resources and capital to make a positive difference in people’s lives. As a fund manager, connecting investment capital to development models in Latin America put her on the path to impact investing. Her current work at Impact Charitable continues to cultivate this intersection of financial and philanthropic interests.

Her background includes work in traditional finance, start-ups, and nonprofits. She has worked as a securities trader, portfolio manager, and financial and operations principal of a securities firm, co-founder and Chief Financial Officer of a technology start-up, and impact investment fund manager of a nonprofit organization. At the nonprofit organization, she created a subsidiary which served as a second impact investing fund dedicated to piloting new deal structures and industries. This reduced the risk for investors in the nonprofit and increased the capital available for emerging opportunities.

Emily’s board and volunteer experience reflects her interest in supporting her community and the environment. Most recently, she served on her neighborhood board, Berkeley Regis United Neighbors. Prior to that, she volunteered for five years at Monroe Organic Farms, a CSA in Kersey, CO. She has also been a coach/mentor with Rocky Mountain MicroFinance Institute since 2012.

She graduated in 2000 from the University of Utah with dual degrees in Finance and Economics. Building on her childhood as part of a family of ten on a hobby farm in Northern Utah, she is now raising her two small children, two big dogs, and four chickens in Denver. When she has free time, she enjoys traveling, teaching yoga, kiteboarding, and the full range of Rocky Mountain recreation opportunities.

James McClair

Director of Operations

James is driven by his commitment to equity and inclusion in all he does. He believes relationships are how we better understand each other and find the intersections between our interests, backgrounds and opportunities.

He worked for 21 years with Oppenheimer Funds in a wide variety of roles as a business analyst, customer service lead, retirement plan senior specialist, and fraud analyst. In each role James used his ability to ask difficult questions and desire to see more than one perspective to drive success in sometimes unconventional ways. He was also an active member of two business resource groups helping to bring equity and education to the Black and Latino communities. Most recently, James entered the impact investing field with a personal focus on diversity and inclusion within the philanthropic and investment sectors.

James has spent the last 14 years helping members of his community experience other cultures and perspectives both locally and internationally in India, Honduras, Uganda, Rwanda, and Peru. As co-leader and creator of the International Advocacy Team at Highlands Church Denver, he has developed programming and led teams to build relationships and support projects identified by communities in these regions.

James has a BA in Biology from Denison University, where he played basketball, ran track, and sang in an acapella group. Music and sports have been a big part of James’ life and continue with his wife Rachael and two boys. Today the entire family continues to perform and play around the Denver area and beach volleyball courts wherever possible.
