Callista Elmore's Linkedin Analytics

I am a dedicated fundraising professional with a passion for building genuine relationships and driving meaningful impact. With just shy of 12 years experience at The University of Arizona Athletics Department, I had the privilege of serving as a Development Officer, where I raised major gifts and fostered lasting connections with donors, alumni, fans, and corporate sponsors. My work directly supported student-athletes and advanced the university’s mission, something I take great pride in. As a proud University of Arizona alum, I earned both my Master of Public Administration and Bachelor of Arts in History while competing as a student-athlete and winning two national championships. Those experiences instilled in me the values of teamwork, resilience, and strategic thinking—qualities that have shaped my approach to leadership and philanthropy. I thrive in collaborative environments where innovative ideas drive real change. Whether through fundraising, strategic planning, or community engagement, I’m always eager to learn, grow, and contribute to causes that align with my values. I'm excited to explore new opportunities and continue making a positive impact. My passion for building connections goes beyond my professional work—it’s what inspired me to start Balanced Mamas, a podcast dedicated to creating a supportive community for moms. What started as a hobby has grown into a space where women can feel heard, understood, and reminded that they’re not alone in their journey. This passion project has been one of the most fulfilling parts of my life, allowing me to connect with incredible women, share real conversations, and foster a sense of belonging. I love creating meaningful dialogue and bringing people together, whether through my career in fundraising or through this platform. I’m always looking for ways to grow, learn, and contribute to communities that uplift and support others. Let’s connect!
