The Conner Prairie Interactive History Park named a new Chief Development Officer last month. On Aug. 17, the museum announced that fundraising professional Karrie Zuccarello will step into the role.

Zuccarello comes from her role as Director of Development for the Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs. During her time as director she helped manage SPEA’s major gift program, corporate and foundation relations, annuals funds and stewardship.

“Karrie is a skilled fundraiser who will become an important strategic partner for the staff and board,” said Conner Prairie President and CEO Ellen M. Rosenthal. “With her leading our fundraising efforts, I am confident that Conner Prairie will continue in its role as a dynamic and vital part of the central Indiana community.

As chief development director, Zuccarello will lead a seven-person team in charge of securing philanthropic support and developing partnerships with corporations, foundations and individuals associated with Conner Prairie.

“Conner Prairie is the kind of place that you can have a true, meaningful connection with land, history and one another,” Zuccarello said. “The opportunity to connect donors to this great institution and watch it continue to grow and develop is a tremendous honor.”

Hailing from Greensburg, Zuccarello earned her bachelor’s degree in public affairs from IU and a certificate from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. She is a member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, the Council for the Advancement and Support of Higher Education and the Network of Academic Corporate Relations Officers.

As Indiana’s only Smithsonian Institute affiliate, Conner Prairie offers various outdoor, historically themed destinations and indoor experiential learning spaces that combine history and art with science, technology, engineering and math to offer an authentic look into history that shapes society today.
