Divinity Pittman is the Associate Director of Development at the Washington Lawyers’ Committee. With 15 years of experience fundraising on behalf of youth and families, Divinity’s mission-driven approach is shaped by her time in government at the New York State Assembly Committee on Children and Families, as well as conducting IRB-approved qualitative research on child abuse at Syracuse University.
During her fundraising tenure she has generated and stewarded funds through direct mail campaigns, grant-writing, donor cultivation, board management, events, development operations, and beyond. With a lens toward diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), she applies a strengths-based approach to donor communications, and a collaborative, team-centric approach to internal and external relations.
Divinity is a proud Syracuse University graduate, holding a B.A. in Sociology with a minor in African American Studies, as well as an MPA with a concentration in Nonprofit Management. Divinity was named a Syracuse University Graduate Scholar, as well as an African American Studies External Fellow.
