Beth Huang

Beth has organized and supported organizing for 15 years, spanning student, union, community, and electoral organizing.

She started organizing as a student leader at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on campus worker issues and college affordability, inspiring her to work as a union organizer at AFSCME and as the National Coordinator of the Student Labor Action Project early in her career. Beth supported community organizations to incubate and grow nonpartisan civic engagement programs at the Massachusetts Voter Table (State Voices affiliate), where she started as the Field Coordinator and served as the Executive Director for five years. At the Massachusetts Voter Table, Beth worked with 40+ partners on nonpartisan year-round voter engagement, led the census and redistricting coalitions, and co-chaired the grassroots governance body of the statewide economic justice ballot measure coalition.

Before joining the team at MVP, Beth was the Civic Engagement & Democracy Program Officer at the Tides Foundation, where she led fundraising and grantmaking strategies for the Healthy Democracy Fund and advised several democracy pooled funds, including the Movement Voter Fund.

At MVP, Beth leads strategic fundraising efforts focused on institutional giving, playing a crucial role in securing and maintaining relationships with private, corporate, and family foundations to support MVP’s mission and programs. She collaborates with program staff to identify funding needs and opportunities to meet movement organizations’ needs.

Beth lives in Ithaca, NY, where you can find her hiking or running on a gorge-ous trail, canvassing for a local candidate, or at an organizing meeting. She holds a BS from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in biochemistry and history, and much to the disappointment of her immigrant parents, never went to medical school.
