Brooke Lynn Brewer

RELATIONSHIP BUILDER. DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIST. EQUITY-CENTERED LEADER.

Brooke brings 15 years of nonprofit leadership experience rooted in education, relationship building, and creating communities where people feel valued and connected to shared goals. As Program Director and later Executive Director at Breakthrough Denver, she worked alongside students, families, educators, donors, and community partners to expand educational opportunities and strengthen the systems that sustain them. Throughout her career, she has connected strategy to action while developing teams and cultivating a culture of collaboration and belonging.

In her role as Fractional Development Director at Roots ConnectED, Brooke partners with staff and board members to strengthen fundraising, deepen donor relationships, and connect people with meaningful ways to support the organization’s mission. She approaches development as an opportunity to listen, build trust, and help people see how their experiences, relationships, and resources can contribute to lasting change.

Her work is grounded in the belief that equity lives in both the systems we build and the ways we show up for one another. Whether facilitating a workshop, coaching a team member, or connecting with a supporter and potential donor, Brooke brings curiosity, clear communication, and a commitment to helping people recognize their capacity to contribute.

Brooke is drawn to Roots ConnectED’s focus on connecting across differences and building communities of belonging. She is excited to help grow the relationships, resources and funding that make this work possible.
