CFY-San Francisco Bay Area Leadership

Grainger Marburg
CFY-San Francisco Bay Area Executive Director
Grainger is the Executive Director for CFY-San Francisco Bay Area. He has over 20 years of combined experience in education, management consulting, philanthropy, and non-profit management. Grainger most recently served for six years as the Executive Director of Peninsula Bridge, a non-profit that serves motivated low-income middle school students. Highlights of his past experience include a two-year teaching assignment in Micronesia as a Peace Corps Volunteer, managing a comprehensive neighborhood improvement initiative in east San Jose with the former Silicon Valley Community Foundation, and successfully turning around a local nonprofit. Social justice and equity issues have strongly informed Grainger’s employment choices. He is an advocate of networking and leveraging existing community resources (i.e., not re-inventing the wheel unnecessarily) and discerning the shared objectives among people and entities from the private, public, and social sectors. Grainger has a B.A. from Hampshire College and an Ed.M. from Harvard University.
