Sarah Martin

Senior Manager, Programming and External Relations

Sarah works closely with the vice president of Programming and External Relations and the President’s office to support the execution of CEP’s fundraising, communications, and programming efforts. She is also the executive producer of Giving Done Right, CEP’s podcast aimed at individual donors.

Prior to joining CEP in 2019, Sarah worked in various operations, communications, and development roles at arts nonprofits, mission-driven design firms, and a well-known podcast company. Sarah studied English Literature and Italian Studies at Mount Holyoke College, and previously lived and worked in Italy. When not at the office, she loves to travel, eat (and make) pizza, learn languages, borrow too many books from the library at once, listen to sounds and stories, and move around outdoors.
