Brandy Shaw Promoted to Stewardship Manager at Palm Health Foundation

Apr 28, 2023

Palm Health Foundation, Palm Beach County’s community foundation for health, has promoted Brandy Shaw to stewardship manager. 


Shaw will advance the foundation’s philanthropic and grantmaking success by building strong relationships with and between donors and grantees to inspire solutions for better health.


Shaw joined Palm Health Foundation in May 2021 as accounting and grants coordinator. President and CEO Patrick McNamara quickly recognized her outstanding interpersonal skills as an asset to the foundation. “Brandy is dynamic, outgoing, and has an innate talent for relating to people,” McNamara said. “Stewardship manager is the perfect role for her to connect the people of our community with our foundation to build a culture of health where all residents have opportunities to thrive and reach their full health potential.”

As stewardship manager, Shaw will support the foundation’s key relationships, including donors, trustees, and grantees. She will also provide project management and support for grants, events, and committee meetings.


Shaw brings fifteen years of experience in the education and non-profit sector to her role. She began her career as an educator designing educational programming for early childhood, elementary, and adult education delivered through churches, schools, and cultural institutions.


Shaw also worked for several South Florida nonprofit organizations creating innovative strategies and resources that support community initiatives and served in an executive-level capacity in nonprofit management, finance, and grant writing.

Palm Health Foundation behavioral health scholarship recipient Beatriz Moreno remembers the first time she was made aware that she was a first-generation student. “I was applying to colleges in my junior year of high school with my high school counselor and I had to answer what level of education my parents had completed,” said the Argentine American scholar. “As I sat there, I realized that neither of my parents had completed a college degree in the United States. I was the eldest child to start that journey.” It was the beginning of her educational pursuit to combine her interest in behavioral health with her passion for helping people from Hispanic cultures.  “Stigma surrounds mental health in the Hispanic community,” she said. “It prevents people from receiving the proper supports, especially when acculturating to a new way of life. And it affects their children.”
