Helena Huang
Helena Huang has spent the last 12 years in philanthropy, most recently as an independent philanthropic consultant. She served as the senior program consultant with the Funders' Committee on Civic Participation (FCCP), a national affinity group that brings together over 80 funders working to enhance voter participation and foster new ways to inspire people to participate year-round in civic life. As part of her work with FCCP, Helena staffed a new funders' working group, now called the State Infrastructure Funders' Table, designed to leverage philanthropic interest and support for state-level capacity building, infrastructure and leadership development, within the nonpartisan civic engagement field.
Prior to FCCP, Helena was a senior program manager with the JEHT Foundation, where she worked with government officials in states around the country to advance juvenile justice reform. She was a program director with the Open Society Institute (OSI), where she was jointly responsible for the strategic planning, budget and management of what was then the largest private fund dedicated to criminal justice reform. There she designed and supervised a fellowship program for academics, activists, and journalists, and established a grantmaking program to support grassroots organizing and advocacy in communities most affected by high rates of incarceration.
Helena has a bachelor degree in social policy from Cornell University and a MPA from Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs.
She lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband, journalist, Robe Imbriano, and their thirteen-year-old daughter. Helena serves on the board of the Northwest Health Foundation, the leading health policy reform and social justice foundation in Oregon.
