Aloha, thank you for being here.

My passion for this work stems from two decades of nonprofit consulting, leadership, and development, and assisting executive management in envisioning and implementing awareness strategies, fundraising campaigns, and partnership projects. My track record of high-impact changemaking in the nonprofit, hospitality, real estate, finance, retail, wellness, and technology sectors affords me a unique fluency across industries. And foundational expertise in public relations, branding, event planning, and marketing supercharge every project and collaboration.

It’s equally an honor to advise and serve as ambassador to numerous international NGOs working on the frontlines of conservation. Together, my husband Sven Lindblad of Lindblad Expeditions and I run the Wanderlust Fund. Wanderlust provides critical funding to organizations dedicated to cultural and environmental protection, global relief efforts, children, and the arts. And in 2018, I launched OCEANSCAPES, an artivism platform inspired by years of collaborative ocean exploration and experiential insight. Combining art with storytelling and science, OCEANSCAPES asserts the power of beauty to inspire both empathy and action.

Kristin Lindblad Philanthropy is an evolution of these passions, supporting motivated high-wealth individuals, families, and organizations in bringing new visions of humanitarian work to life. My work builds initiatives for a better world today and for generations to come, raising awareness for critical causes, implementing high level analysis and funding, and making connections to amplify impact.

With the savvy of a scientist, the acumen of an entrepreneur, the spirit of an artist, and the drive of an activist-explorer, I’m grateful to travel the globe documenting and sharing stories about the earth and its cultures. As a bilingual journalist, photographer, and writer, I’ve published work in outlets from Scientific American to Newsweek to Virgin. Empowered by my education at the Woodrow Wilson School of Government and Foreign Affairs at University of Virginia and Wharton’s Undergraduate School of Business at University of Pennsylvania, I consider myself a perpetual student and diplomat of our shared planet.

Based between Maui and Charleston when I’m not traveling the world, I’m always eager for the next exhilarating adventure and project. My work is balanced by my love of scuba diving, kite surfing, open ocean swimming, daily yoga and meditation, and the forever surprising experience of being a mother and a wife.

Let’s create together.
