Meet Felix Isuk, Our New Director of Finance and Accounting

View of downtown St. Paul, MN

Isuk brings years of nonprofit finance know-how, a sharp eye for strategy, and a deep commitment to equity in the communities we serve.

In his new role, Isuk leads a team for all things finance—internal controls, budgeting and forecasting, accounting, and payroll and benefits administration. He also supports the CFO with managing the investment portfolio and Foundation-wide risk. He’s making sure our endowment dollars are doing what they’re meant to: fueling impact for our grantees and helping us live out our mission, vision, and values every step of the way.

“Strategic resource management can really spark change—especially where resources are tight,” says Isuk. “That’s what excites me about this work. I’m ready to bring my skills to the table and help boost both financial returns and community impact.”

Throughout his career, Isuk has helped local, regional, and global nonprofits work smarter by simplifying processes, increasing efficiency, and driving growth. He has a knack for breaking down complex financial concepts so everyone’s on the same page, fostering collaboration for stronger programs and better results.

We’re excited for the energy, expertise, and leadership Isuk brings to our team!
