In his second year with America’s Charities, Jim ​Starr continues to lead innovations in donor engagement and strategic partnerships, applying his 25 years of related experience to the benefit of ​our charity members and our employer clients. Our focus will continue to be on our members, clients and partners. Jim and our talented staff will keep America’s Charities on a trajectory for growth and success,​with the full support of the​ Board of Directors. 

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or Jim.
