Sheila Swift
Development Director
As the Development Director, Sheila leads fundraising efforts to support and grow the impact of Wilderness Inquiry's programs. She and her team build relationships with donors and partners, secure grants, and organize events to ensure financial stability and long-term growth.
Prior to working at Wilderness Inquiry, Sheila served in various development roles supporting literacy, military families, land management, and education missions. Most recently, she served as a Senior Development Officer with CommonBond Communities.
Spending time in the trees or on a trail has brought Sheila peace and grounding through multiple military moves, parenting, and the everyday pull of life. She is thrilled to advocate for access for everyone to find balance, growth and confidence through shared adventure in nature.
