The Catholic Education Foundation is pleased to welcome Michelle Biondo as the Director of Development.

In this role, Biondo will work with current and prospective donors to strengthen their support for Catholic education throughout northeast Kansas. She will also lead CEF’s Tax Credit Scholarship Program, which provides individuals and corporations with an opportunity to reduce or eliminate their Kansas state income tax liability with a qualified donation to CEF.

A graduate of Rockhurst University, Biondo earned a Master in Business Administration before launching her career in the nonprofit sector. For the past 20 years, she has developed and led fundraising strategies for organizations in the Greater Kansas City area, including Little Sisters of the Poor, Rose Brooks Center and the Seton Center.

“I’m grateful to be a part of the CEF team,” she said. “I look forward to working with the CEF community to advocate for Catholic education and ensure students of all backgrounds have access to a high-quality, faith-filled education.”
