First job: “My first official job was working the front desk at a gym. My mom was a personal trainer there, so it was fun to be able to sort of work with her. I got pretty good at making
protein shakes.”

Hannah Riffle is responsible for communications, engagement and some grantmaking for Glick Philanthropies and is the portfolio manager for its Healthy Democracy grantmaking focus, where the organization thinks about how it can support a healthy democracy through grantmaking, community engagement and advocacy. “I’m proud of this work because I feel it’s so important for philanthropy to do its part to protect civil rights and liberties, strengthen local journalism and ensure accessible, free and fair elections,” she said. Riffle spent the first phase of her career at communications agencies, including VOX Global, Hirons and PAN Communications. At VOX Global, Glick Philanthropies was one of her clients, so she got to know the team and their mission in that role. When she learned that Glick Philanthropies was expanding, she “was excited for the opportunity to help support the Indianapolis community’s nonprofit ecosystem.”•
