Michelle Green’s career has been shaped by a deep belief in the power of philanthropy to change lives and strengthen communities. She has had the privilege of supporting institutions working to raise millions—and in some cases, billions—toward bold, mission-advancing priorities, and she approaches that work with gratitude, humility, and a deep sense of purpose.
From her leadership and fundraising roles at the University of South Dakota to her consulting work at BWF, Michelle has built her career around helping organizations unlock their potential and inspire meaningful generosity. She believes that shared success is the best success—and that philanthropy gives each of us the ability to reach out and touch the future.
As an associate vice president at BWF, Michelle focuses on principal and transformational giving, campaign planning, and building the strategies and systems that support long-term philanthropic success. She partners with leaders to bring clarity to big ideas, strengthen advancement operations, and create the environment for truly transformational gifts. Michelle finds great purpose in connecting people and priorities in ways that advance noble missions and empower donors to make a lasting impact.
Michelle previously served on the CASE District VI cabinet and remains an active participant and presenter at district and national CASE events—continuing her commitment to strengthening and serving the profession.
When not focused on philanthropy, Michelle loves watching her three children participate in their wide-ranging activities and sports, staying fit and healthy, and spending time with her friends and family.
