LINDSEY BENOV
SENIOR DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATE
Lindsey’s primary duties as GYC’s Senior Development Associate include managing GYC’s Annual Fund, donor relations and stewardship, database management, and gift processing. Lindsey also takes the lead on annual giving days or events, helps ensure simple and easy donation processes for donors, and provides ongoing support for the Development team and colleagues.
Lindsey was raised in the Chicago suburbs and knew from an early age that living in the mountains was her calling. While attending college at the University of Montana in Missoula, Lindsey’s love for wild places, respect for immense and ecologically diverse landscapes, and passion for the endless possibilities of exploration and adventure in southwestern Montana were solidified. Lindsey feels fortunate to call Bozeman home and is thankful for her role in facilitating the generosity of others to help sustain the incredible Greater Yellowstone region for generations to come.
During Lindsey’s free time, you will find her adventuring with her partner, Tyler, and their furry, brown dog named Molly in the mountains on bikes, snowboards, or their feet, gardening, cooking, spending time with loved ones, and traveling to far-reaching countries around the globe.
