After a 30-year career in interior design, Diane retired and now devotes her time to supporting nonprofit organizations she cares deeply about, including several committed to improving the lives of animals and people around the world.
Her passion for animals has inspired her longtime support of IFAW, especially our Room to Roam initiative, which protects landscapes, supports wildlife recovery, promotes human-wildlife coexistence, and creates thriving local communities in East and Southern Africa. The long-term vision of Room to Roam aligns closely with Diane’s values and her commitment to conservation.
Diane has also been especially engaged in our efforts to help communities and animals recover in the wake of disasters—from earthquakes and hurricanes to flooding and human conflict. She believes deeply in ensuring that compassionate support is available when it’s needed most.
In addition to her generous support today, Diane has made the meaningful decision to include IFAW as one of her beneficiaries in her Trust. Through her ongoing commitment, she is creating immediate impact—helping animals, people, and habitats today. And through her legacy gift, she is investing in the long-term future of the work she believes in. Her gift helps ensure that initiatives like Room to Roam continue to expand, that animals are protected, that biodiversity flourishes, and that communities and wildlife can thrive together for generations to come.
