Angela Lindou
Buildup Oregon Operations Officer
NMLS#:
“Craft3's mission and innovative approach to social, economic, and climate justice first drew me to the organization, but it was the commitment and creativity of the staff that really pulled me in. Finding like-minded colleagues working toward systemic change is a dream.”
Angela supports the BuildUp Oregon collaborative, whose goal is to preserve, improve, and expand child care facilities throughout the state, where 72% of communities are considered “child care deserts.” Her background in nonprofit management is a strong match for establishing policies and procedures, supporting BuildUp’s implementation, and sharing results with funders.
Angela originally joined Craft3 in 2023 as Grants Manager and the organization’s vision was an important factor in her decision. “Craft3's mission to center marginalized communities and build a more inclusive Pacific Northwest aligns with my personal and professional goals. It is important to me to advance equity and disrupt injustice.” Because early education is key to economic opportunity for working families, she is thrilled to advance the goals of BuildUp Oregon andCraft3’s commitment to essential services.
Before joining Craft3, Angela supported cleantech and workforce development initiatives, following a long career in the arts and culture sector. She holds a BA in Art History and an MA in Museology, with an emphasis on postcolonialism and repatriation of cultural property. She enjoys nature photography, playing old school video games with her son, learning languages, and listening to global radio and podcasts.
