HEIDI NOVOGRATZ-JOHNSON
A lifelong resident of the Midwest, Heidi has volunteered with RefuSHE for more than three years and is a current member of RefuSHE’s Global Ambassadors. In addition to being a committed donor, Heidi has supported RefuSHE in a number of capacities, including hosting fundraising events in her home, sponsoring Artisan Collective scarf sales at craft markets, and sourcing silent auction items for our annual Fashion Challenge event.
With many years of experience guiding her family foundation’s grants, particularly in issues related to racial justice and health, Heidi will complement and strengthen the current makeup of our boards. An active volunteer, she has supported a number of organizations in Chicago over the last two decades and has a growing interest in engaging more fully with a social justice enterprise focused on young women’s dignity and growth. We are looking forward to learning from and leading alongside her to further our mission to protect, educate, and empower refugee girls and young women.
