SHE/HER/HERS
Christina Miller loves bringing people together to make good things happen. She graduated with honors in 2012 with a Master of Science in Applied Clinical Psychology from the University of South Carolina. Her dedication to service was recognized even earlier when she was made a Kentucky Colonel for her work with the Kentucky Governor’s Scholar program in 2009 by former Kentucky Governor Steven L. Beshear.
Before stepping into the world of marketing and fundraising, she spent years as a residential supervisor supporting children in foster care—providing trauma-informed care, mentoring youth, managing and coaching residential youth care workers, and advocating for kids in Jefferson County Public Schools who needed specialized care in the school setting.
In 2017, Christina traded direct care and supervision for storytelling and strategy, diving into communications, fundraising, and volunteer engagement. She coordinated media and volunteers for St. Joe’s Picnic: For the Kids, but noticed that many attendees didn’t know the mission of St. Joseph Children’s Home. To better connect Picnic attendees with the mission of St. Joe’s, she worked with her colleagues to develop updated branding and messaging for one of the largest and long-standing community events in Louisville, KY, changing St. Joe’s Picnic to “St. Joe’s Picnic: For the Kids,” revising the logo to reflect the name change, and worked alongside local reporter, Brooke Hasch, to bring the stories of the children who live at the Home to life throug the “Letters from St. Joe’s Kids” campaign. Christina later developed a mentorship program and a monthly giving program, executed annual fundraising appeals, and designed and managed all digital marketing platforms.
She joined the Community Foundation of Louisville in 2021 as Marketing and Communications Manager and was later promoted to Director of Marketing and Communications. In addition to her creative and strategy work, Christina leads Foundation initiatives like Give for Good Louisville—the region’s largest giving day—where her fundraising expertise and experience has helped local nonprofits raise more than $47 million since 2021, as well as partnered with Churchill Downs to transform the Wednesday of Kentucky Derby week into ‘Winsday,’ a race day devoted to uplifting and driving support to local nonprofits.
Christina believes in the power of community and loves inspiring people to give their time, resources, and energy to causes that matter. Outside of work, you’ll find her at a live concert, exploring nature, planning her next adventure abroad, volunteering, or making memories with family and friends. She adopted two rescue animals, one dog named “Lucy” and a cat named “Binx.” Originally from Brandenburg, KY, Christina currently resides in Jeffersonville, IN.
She’s always excited to connect with others who want to create a positive impact together.
