CVNM Board Director

Stacey Folsom has committed her life to advancing bold social change and brings more than two decades of successful fundraising, organizational management, and campaign experience to our work. Over her career, she has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for progressive organizations and campaigns. In addition to her fundraising acumen, Stacey is known for her vision and drive, ability to leverage data and analytics, and her skills in helping leaders balance their focus on both people and outcomes.

Prior to co-founding The Farley Folsom Group, Stacey spent nearly a decade in leadership roles at the League of Conservation Voters (LCV). As Senior Vice President, she designed a sophisticated fundraising operation that increased revenue from $40 million to $180 million in eight years. Stacey also built integrated fundraising strategies across 30+ state leagues, exceeding their combined $500 million fundraising goal for 2017-2020 by over 30%. In close partnership with NRDC Action Fund, she oversaw the GiveGreen candidate fundraising program, which raised more than $45 million in direct contributions for pro-environmental federal and state candidates.

As a seasoned organizer, Stacey has led campaign work in every corner of the globe. Earlier in her career, Stacey served as the Deputy Director of Corporate Accountability International, the Finance Director for the U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman, and in several other key roles. She’s also played a lead role in developing critical health and environmental policy at the local, national, and international level—including the adoption of the World Health Organization’s global tobacco treaty, the world’s first health and corporate accountability treaty.

Stacey earned BAs in Political Science and Women’s Studies from New Mexico State University. A native of New Mexico, she now resides in Washington, D.C. where she can often be found hiking, biking, swimming, and reading with her two children.
