The Sturgis Area Community Foundation Board of Trustees is thrilled to announce Ashley Magnus as our next Executive Director!

"What excites me most about this role is the chance to listen, learn, and work alongside people across St. Joseph County who care deeply about this community—and to help connect their generosity, ideas, and passion with opportunities to make a meaningful difference," Ashley said.

A St. Joseph County resident and accomplished nonprofit leader, Ashley brings a proven record of philanthropic growth and community impact to the Foundation. Most recently, she served as Executive Director of the Acorn Center for the Performing Arts in Three Oaks, and previously as General Director of Chicago Opera Theater. She currently serves on the Constantine Public Schools Board of Education and has been engaged in community planning, education, and economic development throughout our region.

Following a nationwide search, the Board is confident Ashley is the right leader to build on SACF's momentum as a countywide philanthropic leader. She will begin on October 12, 2026.

Please join us in welcoming Ashley!
