Greer started working as a fundraiser because she wanted social and environmental movements to be well resourced and effective. She is a recent addition to the team at Environmental Justice Australia, joining them one month before Victoria’s work-from-home orders were introduced, due to the coronavirus pandemic. Previously, Greer was the Key Relationships Manager at the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, developing a multimillion dollar major gift program for the rapidly growing organisation. She has also managed government funded carbon reduction projects in local government, run fundraising events for Indigenous communities, and worked with private philanthropy to seed Australia’s first bicycle-powered, Cycle-in-Cinema.

 

She holds a Bachelor of Development Studies and Arts (Economics) from the University of Newcastle and is an alumni of the Veritus Major Gift Academy.
