Ujwala joined EBCLC’s Development, Communications, and Data team in July 2021 as the Institutional Giving Manager.

Ujwala came to EBCLC from Room to Read, an international development organization focused on childhood literacy and girls’ education. During her time as an analyst, she raised $1M from institutional funders and supported raising $15M in bilateral/multilateral and government donors. Her favorite part of the job was working with her colleagues in South Africa, Vietnam, and India to grow fundraising efforts. Ujwala was inspired to join EBCLC because of its Women of Color-Centered Platform and its unequivocal values rooted in equity, compassion, empathy, and justice. In her free time, you can find her working with high school seniors on their college essays or finetuning her language skills. Ujwala completed her BA and BBA at the University of Michigan.
