Shannon Porter

Shannon brings over 25 years of experience in nonprofit leadership, fundraising and program development. At Dolores Mission School, she directed a successful capital campaign, and at Homegirl Café, she guided its expansion into a 100-seat farm-to-table restaurant while creating workforce training programs for formerly incarcerated women and men.

For the past decade, Shannon has served as Director of Advancement and Stewardship at Holy Family School and Church, leading capital campaigns, campus improvements and sustainability projects.

Holding a Master’s in Agriculture from Cal Poly Pomona and a deep commitment to community-based initiatives, Shannon is eager to bring her expertise to the American Farmland Trust as Idaho External Relations Manager.
