The American Museum of Fly Fishing is pleased to welcome Caroline Denison Linz as their new Director of Development.

Caroline previously served as Director of Development at The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education, where she led the organization’s fundraising strategy, secured multiple six- and seven-figure gifts including a $3 million foundation grant, and partnered with leadership on revenue growth and long-term planning. Previously, as Associate Director of Individual Giving and Major Gifts, she helped expand the major gifts program and strengthen donor engagement.

At the American Museum of Fly Fishing, Caroline will lead the organization’s comprehensive development program, including major gifts, annual giving, donor cultivation and stewardship, and institutional partnerships. She will build and manage a portfolio of high-capacity donors, expand engagement across the Museum’s membership and supporter base, and strengthen long-term giving pipelines including legacy and planned giving. In collaboration with leadership and the Board, she will design data-informed fundraising strategies that align donor history, storytelling, and institutional priorities to increase revenue and broaden the Museum’s philanthropic base.
