Jordan Haynes
Senior Manager, Donor Relations
Growing up a queer, black male in a predominantly white, conservative atmosphere, I was hyper aware of prejudice and injustice as obstacles to be navigated in life. My conviction is that justice is an irrevocable human right, but the reality is the denial of justice occurs every day and although injustice threatens everyone, to many it is a matter of survival. Fighting for what is right is always worth it, and I am honored to be a part of an organization that recognizes the identities and plights of all Angelenos, and strives to change the communities we call home.

Jordan lived for 2 years in Southern China where he engaged in missionary work throughout Southeast Asia. While in China, he led a team of volunteers in community building by connecting local students and young professionals to volunteer opportunities. In returning to the states, Jordan began working in the non-profit fundraising field because he was drawn to resourcing progressive causes, particularly advocacy of racial, gender and economic justice.
