Development Manager

Pace Center for Girls

In her role as the development manager at Pace Center for Girls, Margo Brewster helps manage fundraising initiatives, special events and grants to ensure the organization meets its fiscal and developmental goals. A Fort Myers native, Brewster also believes in giving back to the community where she was raised, and is passionate about helping girls succeed in the same way her female mentors helped guide and influence her life.

“I am lucky to have a strong team of supporters who have not only encouraged me, but have provided constructive criticism and helped set me on a path to success,” she says. “I am thankful for the family and friends who were never afraid to be honest with me when I was wrong, and to cheer me on when I did something right.”

Since joining Pace in 2018, Brewster has helped raise more than $2 million, and she was recently recognized as a finalist as an ENPY Awards’ 2022 Next Generation Leader by The Community Foundation. She is also working to earn a certificate in fundraising management through the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, an achievement recognizing and substantiating commitment to fundraising leadership.
