Arianne began her work with Kindle Project in 2010 as the Communications Director. During that time she co-founded the Indie Philanthropy Initiative (IPI), which was created right here at Kindle Project! From 2019-2021, Arianne was the Co-Executive Director of EDGE Funders Alliance. Kindle Project clearly created a passionate funder organizer in Arianne, and in all of her work she continues to keep the Kindle fire lit with a practice of curiosity, deep relationship building, humour, and joy. Arianne received her MA in Peace Education from the United Nations University for Peace, and completed an honors degree in Religious Studies at Concordia University. She lives and works in Toronto as Kindle Project's Director of Programs and loves teen drama TV series (shhh, don’t tell), storytelling, cooking complicated dishes with pomegranate molasses from her Egyptian roots, the perfect espresso, and the art of flȃneuring.
