Lynsie Stephens

Lynsie has enjoyed working in philanthropy for over 13 years, and has a passion for helping organizations and clients achieve their grantmaking goals efficiently. Working in Fort Worth and Oklahoma City, Lynsie has a strong understanding of a wide variety of philanthropic vehicles. Before joining Foundant, Lynsie spent five years with Foundation Management, Inc., where she was a grants administrator for a number of private family foundations and public charities. She then moved to Texas to work for The Dallas Foundation, which is the oldest community foundation in Texas. There, Lynsie managed all scholarship and hardship assistance programs, as well as all donor advised fund grants. During her seven years at The Dallas Foundation, Lynsie had the opportunity to lead the work of transitioning the scholarship programs from paper-based applications and extensive manual data entry, to a streamlined online scholarship management process through Foundant. This experience empowered Lynsie to tailor processes not only for the foundation staff, but also for the donors and the applicants as well.
