Based in Washington DC, Gloria Nauden is a dynamic results-driven executive who leads with imagination, instinct, and impact. Equipped with deep cross-sector experience, multi-level partnerships and veteran insights, she has contributed to the growth of some of America’s most influential public, private and philanthropic organizations.

Gloria was recently appointed the interim CEO of Philanthropy DMV, a trade association of Greater Washington regional area of grantmakers in public, private and philanthropic sectors. Members represent a cross-section of philanthropy, including family foundations, corporate giving, public charities and government grant making agencies.

Gloria also maintains her own grassroots economic empowerment nonprofit, DC Community Development Consortium Institute (DCCDC), inspired by her service in the Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) banking industry as VP of Marketing & Corporate Communications at City First Bank, publicly trading as Broadway Financial (NASDAQ: BYFC). City First is the largest Black-led CDFI minority depository institution in the nation with over $1.5B in assets under management.

Prior to that she was the Corporate Affairs liaison for the co-founder while working her way up from being the executive assistant to the President.

Her passion for civic and community engagement drove her to public service as an appointee in District of Columbia government, leading the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities. Gloria was able to help raise the profile of Washington as a multi-cultural arts epicenter, while advancing the mission of the $14MM grant making agency, implementing DEI strategies that expanded funding access to the arts by 77%; and is responsible for creating Art all Night and Art202, which has circulated millions of dollars in DC.

Gloria is a proud mother of two daughters. She participates in her community as a member of Leadership Greater Washington, a founding member of 100 Black Women of DC’s chapter, and member of Women of Color in Community Development.
