Gail Rodgers

Senior Planned Giving Specialist Gail Rodgers is passionate about helping our nonprofit clients create, expand and fortify their gift planning programs. “One of my favorite things about helping nonprofits is meeting so many fascinating people who are dedicated to changing the world for the better,” she says. She began at PlannedGiving.Com as a writer; and has also had her work published in the Boston Phoenix, Hartford Courant, Running Times magazine, and has contributed to numerous books. A musician and singer since childhood, she studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London, received a Bachelor of Music/Voice and Opera from the Mannes College at New School in New York, and has performed at Carnegie Hall and the Lincoln Center. Gail has also been a working actor, with many nationwide commercials, independent films, Off-Broadway shows, and even an appearance in the hit Netflix series “Orange Is the New Black.” She is especially proud of her work as a member of Effective Arts, an acting group that helps train those in the medical field who procure organ donations. She’s also been active in ministry for many years; most recently Times Square Church and Redeemer Presbyterian in New York City. An animal lover, Gail is constantly feeding the neighborhood critters, and her colleagues strongly suspect she has a not-so-secret plan to turn the PlannedGiving.Com offices into a wildlife sanctuary.
