Sarah Milne

Sr. Vice President, Advancement

Sarah is responsible for attracting the funds that allow As You Sow to deliver on its mission and create change. She came to us from Chabot Space & Science Center, where as head of Development she was responsible for raising this science museum’s budget through grants, gifts, and galas. Between Chabot and As You Sow, Sarah served as a Senior Consultant to the Sierra Club’s Beyond Oil Campaign, writing reports on tar sands-derived fuels in corporate fleets and on Enbridge’s Alberta Clipper tar sands pipeline.

She has also written on carbon financing for the Big Sur Land Trust, and on REDD+ carbon offset baseline issues. Before pivoting to the environment and climate change, she was Director of Marketing at a venture-funded tech start-up, and worked in financial analysis, marketing and product management at Chevron and Ampex.

She holds a B.A. from U.C. Berkeley with Highest Honors in Rhetoric and Distinction in General Scholarship; an M.B.A from Cornell; and a graduate certificate in Environmental Policy from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey.
