Kelly Schaber

Kelly is a documentary filmmaker with extensive experience in project management, problem-solving, strategy, and creative storytelling. Kelly is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, with a Masters in Human Dimensions of Organizations, a degree that draws on disciplines in the humanities and social
and behavioral sciences to understand the behavior and motivations of people. She brings a rare blend of entrepreneurial experience, behavioral insight, and strategic communications to every engagement.

Before transitioning into the nonprofit sector, Kelly spent more than a decade as an entrepreneur, owning and operating a bespoke jewelry business in New York City’s Diamond District. That experience sharpened her skills in brand development, client relationships, and revenue growth.

Today, she partners with nonprofits of all sizes on fundraising strategy, grant writing, communications, media, marketing, and donor engagement. Her work is grounded in strong systems and brought to life through storytelling that highlights the real impact organizations make in their communities.
