David Venne, director of finance for CAFAmerica, will serve as acting CEO while 
the recruitment process is underway.

 

 

 

During Saxon-Harrold’s tenure at CAFAmerica, the organisation’s net assets grew 
from $2 million to $54 million, and donations rose from $9.7 million to $47.1 million.

 

 

 

CAFAmerica provides charitable financial services to individuals, global corporations,
charities, and foundations and is a member organisation of the Charities Aid Foundation
international network. During 2010/11, CAFAmerica and the CAF American Donor Fund
facilitated 1,770 grants to charities in 80 nations around the world, including 
$40 million in donor advised gifts.

 

 

 

CAFAmerica President Janet C. Boyd, Esq., said of Saxon-Harrold: “Without her guidance,
CAFAmerica would not have developed the wide range of opportunities it currently
has for donors, including the expansion of donor services in areas such as the ‘
Friends of’ Charity Fund’, which enables non-US charities to fundraise in the US
effectively. CAFAmerica provides a number of valuable services that enable donors
to give cross-border in a safe and timely manner.”
