Elizabeth Stockton Perkins

[ she / her ]

I'm a rising senior media studies major at Vassar College, where I take voice lessons and co-chair the Vassar Student Philanthropy Council. I have previously interned with the development and major gifts teams at EMILY's List, The Glimmerglass Festival, Opera on Tap, and Arts Mid-Hudson.

This summer I'm working with the Yale University Office of Development as part of the CASE

Advancement Internship Program . I am a recent recipient of the Tananbaum Fellowship, a merit-based fellowship given to 20 Vassar juniors who exhibit a a commitment to professional and personal growth, achievement, and success.

In spring 2023 I interned with the major gifts team at EMILY's List, the nation's largest resource for women in politics. Since 1985, EMILY's List has raised $850 million to elect Democratic pro-choice women up and down the ballot and across the country.

I studied marketing and political communications during my semester abroad at Goldsmiths, University of London in fall 2022.

Here I am with the 2022 Glimmerglass Festival development team!

During my development apprenticeship with The Glimmerglass Festival I researched donors, interacted with patrons and prospects at various picnics and private events, and managed development department scheduling.

I spoke to alumni about the impact of the Annual Fund at Vassar's 2022 Reunion "Celebrate Vassar" event.

While interning with Opera on Tap in spring 2022 I had the chance to attend the Opera America Conference in Minneapolis with my colleagues. I assisted with tabling and the presentation of a new opera by Kamala Sankaram and Jerre Dye, The Singing Cabinet of Mathilde Lebeau.

As a development intern with Opera on Tap I wrote LOIs and grant proposals and streamlined the constituent database system.

On campus I'm involved with Vassar Student Philanthropy Council. Here I am with some of my peers and our advisor, Rori Chuck. I'll be co-chairing the VSPC during the 2023-2024 school year.

In June 2021, I collaborated with Presbyterian Giving Catalog and my dear friend and pianist Cameron Edmiston to present a virtual concert to thank donors and supporters of PC(USA) Mission and Disaster Assistance.

To date I've fundraised nearly $7,000 for disaster assistance efforts.

As a junior in high school I served on the Wayne County (OH) Community Youth Foundation. I visited local nonprofits, learned about investing to grow charitable funds, and worked with peers to evaluate grant applications and allocate over $7,500
