Ritee Sponsler
Major Gifts Officer, Pacific Northwest
Ritee joined the Center in 2024 and is responsible for major gifts fundraising in the Pacific Northwest.
Prior to joining the Center, Ritee worked in communications at the ACLU of Washington and served as the organization’s first frontline fundraiser. She then fundraised for Woodland Park Zoo’s conservation programs and managed a $100M capital campaign across four states for Planned Parenthood. In 2019, Ritee returned to the ACLU-WA to serve as Community Relations Director, overseeing marketing, branding, and events.
Ritee studied communications at New York University and attended law school at the University of San Francisco to bridge the gap between her marketing background and social justice endeavors. She lives in Seattle with her husband, daughter, and Chihuahua Labrador.
