Sarah Howard

Sarah Howard is the Managing Director of Global Philanthropy Forum. She has developed and spearheaded the organization’s recent 2.0 strategic vision, the first post-founder strategic transition. A social innovator, entrepreneur, and storyteller, Sarah’s passion for understanding systems has led her across the globe to witness and document complex human and systems stories. She uses narrative development, strategic thinking, and community-building tools to map new structures for society and stories for how to get there. Sarah is particularly passionate about applying her skills to address pressing global issues such as climate change, digital futures, and global governance. Along the way, she has built several initiatives and organizations from these experiences. Her latest documentary Climate Blueprint is currently on a global tour, and her social cohesion project, Listening Lab, is growing alongside her podcast, Track Two, which explores the question ‘What is a good society?’. Sarah grew up in Berkeley and now lives on Ohlone land in Oakland, CA.
