Alexis Martinez, MPH

I am optimistic about philanthropy’s potential to grow toward a more inclusive sector. I believe that those working in philanthropy can adopt collaborative approaches to create access to systems that are often restricted to specific groups and difficult to navigate.

As the Regional Partnerships & Strategy Director, I contribute to the Meyer Foundation by managing and supporting key parts of our general grantmaking and capacity building programs. I also oversee our regional grantmaking and program portfolio.

My recent completion of a Master of Public Health graduate degree with a concentration in global health from Southern New Hampshire University has deepened my understanding of the intersection between health, racial equity, and justice. I’m committed to leveraging this understanding in my role to further drive my work at Meyer, where we invest in organizations that build power and address systemic inequities disproportionately affecting communities of color.

I joined the Meyer Foundation in 2018.
