About Forager Grants & Strategy

Gina Modafferi-Capucilli is the founder and principal of Forager Grants & Strategy, where she advises mission-driven organizations on philanthropic strategy, nonprofit development, and strategic opportunities.

Her background brings together experience in human services, community-based organizations, nonprofit development, and relationship-centered work. This perspective informs a practical approach to philanthropy: understanding an organization’s mission and the people it serves, identifying where genuine alignment exists, and developing strategies that connect strong ideas with the right partners and resources.

Gina began her career in social work, including experience working with children, families, and communities. That foundation continues to shape how she approaches organizational and philanthropic work—with an appreciation for the complexity of human needs, the importance of listening, and the value of solutions grounded in the realities of the people and communities being served.

Today, her work increasingly focuses on helping organizations clarify their value, identify meaningful philanthropic opportunities, develop relationships with prospective funders and partners, and position promising programs for growth and sustainability.

She is particularly drawn to organizations addressing complex social and community needs, where thoughtful strategy and the right philanthropic relationships can make a meaningful difference.
