UTICA — Anita’s Stevens Swan Humane Society has named David Fitzgerald as director of philanthropy of the local animal shelter, which provides high-quality, cost-effective care and programs for nearly 2,000 abandoned, surrendered, lost, and abused animals in Oneida County every year.
Fitzgerald’s background as a nonprofit administrator with a focus on philanthropy, development and community welfare, combined with a deep commitment to alleviating the struggles that their pets face, will help to advance the organization’s mission.
Fitzgerald assumed the role last month and he will manage philanthropic strategy as well as all day-to-day fundraising for the organization. Fitzgerald will also lead marketing and community engagement initiatives. “I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to use my talents and experience to support this mission. Anita’s Stevens Swan Humane Society has been serving our community for over 100 years and I am proud that I get to be a part of that legacy of service”
Fitzgerald most recently served as the executive director for the Kirkland Art Center and The Wish Project in Lowell, Massachusetts. He began his career with the Boy Scouts of America where he served for 11 years.
Fitzgerald attended Mohawk Valley Community College and earned a bachelor’s degree in English from SUNY Oswego.
