A Warm Welcome to Kat Eutsler

Kat Eutsler, Senior Grant Writer and Administrator, Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation

The Office of Clinical and Pro Bono Programs extends a warm welcome to Kat Eutsler, who joined the Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation in May 2014 as the Development Consultant and is now the Senior Grant Writer and Administrator. Kat graduated in May 2014 with a Masters of Science degree from Tufts University Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, focusing on Food Policy and Applied Nutrition and specializing in Economics and Politics of Food and Agriculture. During graduate school, Kat interned at CHLPI working on food law and policy issues. She was a contributing author for two of CHLPI’s pinnacle food policy toolkits.

Before graduate school, Kat was Director of Sales for her family business in Philadelphia, PA, a food brokerage company, where she managed 1 of the 5 wholesale manufacturers that the company represents and fostered new connections, resulting in significant growth of the business. She is experienced in successfully managing hundreds of buyer accounts, along with cultivating new relationships.

In both Philadelphia and Boston, Kat actively volunteered at several community-based nonprofit organizations that focus on issues surrounding nutrition, food, farming, justice, and health. It was through her years of volunteer work that she became interested in development work and funding strategies for nonprofit organizations. Using her background in sales and her passion and expertise in food and health policy issues, Kat collaborates with the Center’s directors, clinical instructors, and fellows to secure financial support for the Center and to foster positive, long-term relationships with foundations, corporations, individual donors, and government agencies.
