Meg Rauth VanWagner

FOUNDER, IMPACT DAY MSP

Meg (she/her/hers) is a leader in driving strategy, program design, scalability, and capacity-building for social impact organizations. She is currently the Director of the Social Impact Institute at Thomson Reuters leading the development and delivery of global programs aligned with access to justice and transparency.

In 2018, Meg founded Impact Day MSP as part of her social impact consultancy work at Rauth VanWagner Consulting. She joined HandsOn Twin Cities (HOTC) in 2019 and continued delivering and scaling Impact Day events as a program of HOTC in addition to tackling the new role of Managing Director at HOTC in which she built the Pro Bono Advisory Program soup-to-nuts to design, implement, and scale pro bono programming across sectors. The Pro Bono Advisory Program grew exponentially under her leadership and, in just under two years and throughout the hardships of 2020, had infused nearly $1M worth in pro bono support into the nonprofit and BIPOC-owned small business communities. Impact Day remains a program of HOTC and continues to grow and scale under the HOTC name.

Prior to HOTC, Meg brought her pro bono expertise to the west coast employee engagement team at Salesforce.org after six years at the Taproot Foundation in San Francisco, most recently as the National Director of Program Delivery & Design in which she scaled and led the national program team across the Bay Area, Chicago, LA, NYC, and DC. Before her span at Taproot, Meg worked at several direct-service nonprofits as well as in healthcare, hospitality, and legal support services in San Francisco, Minneapolis, Omaha, and Amsterdam, NL.
