Maritza Agundez
Events & Development Associate

 
As Events and Development Associate, Maritza coordinates activities that engage LINC’s board and staff as well as the greater community to support affordable housing. She manages onsite and offsite events and plays a key role in annual and planned giving campaigns, communications with key stakeholders, identification and stewardship of donors, organization of data systems, and is part of the grant writing team. She supports all other corporate development & communications activities including corporate literature, public relations, fund development, and legislative policy.

 
Prior to joining LINC, Maritza worked with Esperanza Community Housing to conduct an entrepreneurial development program and a formal needs assessment that involved policy research and stakeholder interviews concerning housing conditions in South Los Angeles. She served as a community organizer with the Coalition of Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles mobilizing domestic and day laborers against legal abuses. With the Casa de Salud de la Mujer Indigena in Oaxaca, Mexico, Maritza helped bridge cultures with the development of a treatment protocol to serve indigenous women that combined elements of traditional and modern medicine.

Maritza is a graduate of Occidental College where she received two BA’s in Politics and Urban and Environmental Policy. As a lifelong activist of affordable housing, Maritza values this opportunity to advance the unique community outcomes that are created through LINC’s partnerships with charitable foundations and corporate and individual donors.

Maritza’s fondness for the cowgirl life can be seen when she’s out line-dancing, going to the rodeo, or adding to an extensive collection of denim blue jeans.
