Elizabeth Aucamp

Elizabeth joined Legal Aid Justice Center (LAJC) in June 2022. Prior to LAJC she was a Senior Development Associate for Hispanics in Philanthropy (HIP), which focuses on growing leadership, influence and equity within the Latinx and BIPOC communities. Her role focused on foundation proposals and grant reporting, concept and letters of intent and funder prospecting. Previously, she spent seven plus years in development as a major gifts officer, development officer and campaign fundraiser within the Virginia Higher Education system. Elizabeth credits successes over the years to working for institutions without prestigious alumni or influential founders to remedy resource gaps. It taught her to be “scrappy,” and think out the box when seeking new donors and board members, as well as creative cultivation and solicitations.
