Anna Harrison

Anna is the Administrative Officer for the James B. McClatchy Foundation. She is a native Californian and has worked in the nonprofit community in Sacramento since 2019.

Anna manages daily operations and ensures that things run smoothly internally for the team. She does everything from greeting guests, sending emails, overseeing supplies, juggling schedules, creating marketing materials, planning events and supporting various projects across the organization.

Prior to JBMF, Anna spent 15 years as an administrative assistant to the principal of an elementary school. In this role, she witnessed firsthand the struggles dual language families faced trying to get a quality education for their children.

As a mother and now as a grandmother — Anna feels deeply for families just doing their best to survive. Transitioning into the philanthropy sector was a natural progression in her career and she is thankful for the opportunity to support change in her community.
