The Pensacola community is fueled by a spirit of generosity, and many feel called to share their wealth with deserving nonprofits that support our communities. Developing a tax-savvy gifting strategy with the help of seasoned professionals can ensure thoughtful integration of your philanthropic giving goals with your long term personal financial needs. 

Following refreshments and hors d'oeuvres, our featured panel will provide valuable insights about charitable gifting with perspectives from a financial planner, tax advisor, estate planning attorney, and nonprofit consultant.

Panelists

Andrea Krieger | Pensacola State College
Executive Director of Institutional Development | Pensacola State College

Krieger circleAndrea has a strong commitment to making a difference in the lives of others and was taught early the value of service by her father, a naval officer and aviator, for 24 years. A Florida State University and Tallahassee Community College graduate, she is a past president of the Rotary Club of Pensacola and has served in several roles within Rotary District 6940. She has been honored as an Ethics in Business Award recipient, a Volunteer Florida Champion of Service, the Pensacola Chamber of Commerce’s LeaP Red Room Award recipient, and as a PACE Professional Leader of the Year. 

Andrea served multiple years as the District 6940 Rotary Youth Leadership Awards chair, as the Second Vice Chair for the Florida Council for Resource Development and has been active on the boards of Central Credit Union of Florida (now Loyalty Credit Union), Achieve Escambia, and The Escambia Project. A 2018 PSC President’s Leadership Institute graduate and a graduate of the classes of 2003 LeaP, 2006 Leadership Okaloosa, and 2013 LeadersEdge, she has been honored by several awards received for her commitment to the community.  

Before joining the Pensacola State College team, Andrea served as the CEO of United Way of Escambia County, where she tripled resources and added stable AmeriCorps, RSVP (Senior Corps), and VITA programs. She has led successful capital campaigns for multiple organizations and, in her tenure as a Nonprofit Executive, has raised more than $65 million for the organizations she led. Andrea has led several capital and comprehensive campaigns, and as the Executive Director of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northwest Florida, led the local House's expansion from a 7-bedroom facility to a 26-bedroom facility.

Working collaboratively with others, Andrea believes true success comes through partnership and connecting community leaders to projects they are passionate about. Without strong board volunteers, mentorship, and community leaders, she is convinced her success would have been hard to replicate.
