The HealthTree Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing cures for multiple myeloma and other blood cancers through patient empowerment, research, and education, today announced the appointment of Lisa Gray, an accomplished fundraising strategist and nonprofit leader, to its Board of Directors.

Lisa brings nearly 30 years of experience advancing philanthropy across national health and education organizations. Throughout her career, she has led transformational development initiatives and teams that strengthened mission-driven organizations and expanded their capacity to deliver patient care and drive scientific discovery. Her leadership has been marked by innovative strategies to diversify and strengthen fundraising programs and foster a vibrant culture of philanthropy that accelerates mission delivery and sustainable revenue growth.

Most recently, Lisa served as Senior Vice President for Development at the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, where she led the development program and staff, generating $20M+ annually. Prior to that, she held a senior vice president role at Blood Cancer United (formerly the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society), helping to drive revenue growth and deepen philanthropic support.

Diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2023, Lisa has since dedicated time to supporting fellow patients and advancing research that improves outcomes across the myeloma community. Her dual perspective as both a seasoned philanthropic leader and a patient will bring valuable insight to HealthTree's expanding mission.
