Katie Coleman

Executive Director

What year did you join CSF? I first joined CSF in 2012 and spent five years at the organization as Scholarship Director. I rejoined CSF in 2023.

What’s your favorite part of your job? Hands down, the CSF community is the best around! Our board members and staff are so dedicated to the mission. Our volunteers are incredibly committed and always answer our call when support is needed. Our donors are loyal and genuinely want the best for young people across the country. Our school partners are wonderful to work with, and our scholars are truly inspiring! Every part of the CSF community makes this work meaningful and rewarding.

What is your favorite children’s/young adult book? As a mom to young children, I read a lot of children’s books! A family favorite has been ‘Bear Snores On’ and ‘Little Blue Truck and Racer Red’

What’s one accomplishment you’re most proud of? A fun fact about me is that I’ve run several marathons and completed multiple triathlons, but I’m most proud of completing an IRONMAN triathlon.

What is your favorite color? I love a good navy blue or Nantucket red!
