Kents Hill School is delighted to announce the appointment of Erin Fogg as Chief Advancement Officer. With more than 20 years of progressive experience in philanthropy and nonprofit leadership, Erin will play a key role in advancing the school’s mission and preparing it for a bold and sustainable future.

Erin joins Kents Hill from the University of Maine at Augusta, where she served as Vice President of Advancement and Alumni Relations. In that role, she established the institution’s first formal advancement and alumni engagement program, laying the groundwork for a philanthropic strategy to advance the university’s long-term strategic objectives.

Previously, Erin was Vice President of Development and Communications at Good Shepherd Food Bank, Maine’s largest hunger-relief organization. During her eight-year tenure, she tripled annual philanthropic revenue, expanded the development team from six to 16, and successfully planned, launched, and led the landmark Campaign to End Hunger in Maine—a four-year, $250 million comprehensive initiative.

“As we prepare to launch the most ambitious campaign in our history and bring philanthropy to new heights, Erin brings exactly the kind of leadership we need - strategic, mission-driven, and deeply human,” said Dr. Molly T. MacKean, Head of School. “She has a gift for bringing people together around a shared purpose, and her vision and commitment to expanding opportunity will strengthen the partnerships that make this community so extraordinary. With Erin as a partner in this work, I know we will step boldly into Kents Hill’s third century.”

Prior to the Good Shepherd Food Bank, Erin served as Director of Development Operations and Gift Planning at The Jackson Laboratory, an internationally recognized biomedical research institute headquartered in Bar Harbor, Maine. She holds a B.A. in Communications from Elizabethtown College and a Master of Business Administration from Husson University.

“It is an honor to join Kents Hill School at this pivotal moment under the visionary leadership of Dr. MacKean,” said Erin. “I am inspired by how Kents Hill fosters a vibrant community of learning and belonging in the heart of Maine, with an impact that ripples across the state, nation, and globe through its alumni. I look forward to partnering with leadership, supporters, alumni, and students to reimagine how philanthropy can sustain and amplify Kents Hill’s impact well into its third century and beyond."
