Susie Bowie Tapped to Lead Manatee Community Foundation
New role for longtime exec at Community Foundation of Sarasota County.

The longtime Community Foundation of Sarasota County vice president of philanthropic education and marketing, Bowie was charged in 2011 with launching the foundation’s highly successful Giving Partner initiative an online resource through which more than 400 area nonprofits share with potential donors their financial information, leadership and goals.

The Manatee Community Foundation interfaces with the Community Foundation of Sarasota County in other ways, too; as a support organization, it shares back-office support services with the Sarasota foundation, “so we can focus on making Manatee County a better place,” says Bowie.
