Through her leadership at CS Fund, Bailey supports communities, organizations, and movements making systemic change around the world.

She has also facilitated organizational development and change across philanthropic programs, finance and investments, operations, staff management, and board governance to align with values of boldness, care, and learning. For a decade prior to becoming ED, Bailey managed CSF’s Rights and Governance program, focusing on issues of justice and democracy.
