Kelly Borgia
Director, Brand Engagement
Kelly leads communication strategy for Gulf Coast Community Foundation, shaping the ideas and messaging that carry the Foundation's voice to donors, partners, and the community. She plans and executes Gulf Coast's full slate of public-facing events for donors, professional advisors, and grantee partners, and she led the development of Gulf Coast's Donor Platform, from launch communications to the systems that support it today.
As a member of the Brand Strategy and Culture Team, Kelly partners with every functional team across the Foundation to create experiences that are impactful and memorable. She joined Gulf Coast in 2018 after a decade as Production Stage Manager at Asolo Repertory Theatre, and that foundation in the arts informs her work managing Gulf Coast's Empowering Arts Grant program today.
Kelly is a member of the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce Leadership Class of 2023 and a graduate of the Council on Foundations' Bridging Differences Leadership cohort. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Stage Management from the University of Central Florida.
Outside of work, Kelly enjoys cooking, bike rides, the Florida sunshine, and, most of all, spending time with family.
