Catherine Ashton, Founder & CEO
Catherine Ashton (she/her) is on a mission to change the way nonprofits fundraise, lead, and work. As the founder of Giant Squid Group LLC, Catherine works with start-up and small nonprofits through an intersectional feminist and anti-racist lens to help them move grassroots organizing toward systems-level change.
Catherine is dedicated to promoting inclusivity and equity in the nonprofit sector and has been a raging feminist from a young age. In her “outside of work” time she co-runs Make At Rosie, a community makerspace committed to empowering women and nonbinary makers and allies. When she’s not at the makerspace, you can find her spending time with her kiddos and small army of rescued animals.
