Corty Fengler's 33-year career in philanthropy has included work both as a development officer and as a consultant. She was Canon for Development at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco and before that Director of Development for the San Francisco Symphony, the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center and Westover School, as well as working with Wellesley College during the largest campaign a liberal arts college had mounted at that time. She has also been a Senior Associate with John Brown Limited, a leader in the fields of planned giving and capital campaigns. As an independent consultant she has provided comprehensive services to non-profits such as the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and many choruses, orchestras and schools. She has served on the Alumnae Board of Wellesley College and the Board of the Association of California Symphony Orchestras. She currently heads the Continuo Committee of Chorus America's Board and is an officer on the Board of Walden School, a summer music program in New Hampshire. To avoid true retirement, she is Chair of the Board and CEO of Cappella SF, a new professional chamber choir – Ragnar Bohlin, Artistic Director. And to keep busy at night, she sings with the four-time Grammy Award-winning San Francisco Symphony Chorus.
