Spent building sport and social impact from the sole employee to 40+ international team.
Lindsey Cronin Kittredge is a sports and social impact executive and the co-founder of Shooting Touch, the international sport-for-development nonprofit she spent 20 years building to use sport to deliver health education, disease prevention, and empowerment programming to over 400,000 underserved youth and women. She was its sole employee for the first seven years and grew it to a team of more than 40 across Boston and Rwanda, where the organization currently operates in direct partnership with the government as a nationally recognized community health program.
As Executive Director for 15 years and then Chief Advancement Officer, she led the partnership and fundraising strategy behind more than $15M raised. The work earned recognition at the highest levels of sport-for-development: the Beyond Sport Global Award for Sport for Health and Well-being (2018), an IOC Sport and Active Society Grant — one of only four awarded worldwide (2016) — and a UNESCO spotlight naming the Rwanda program a "gold standard" for gender equity programming within sport-for-development (2024).
Locally, Shooting Touch was selected as the Boston organization in the DICK'S Sporting Goods Foundation's Sports Matter multi-year partnership program — one of only nine organizations chosen nationwide. The Boston programming drew support from State Street Investments, the WNBA, the NBA Foundation, and major footwear brands.
As a voice for the field, she was a featured speaker at the IOC's inaugural Olympism in Action Forum in Buenos Aires (2018) and the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference (2019), and has been featured on ESPN, ABC and NBC Sports Boston.
Sport is personal, too: a former Division I lacrosse player at the University of Vermont and a 2x marathon runner, Lindsey is the mother of two daughters — both competitive athletes.
She founded Kittredge and Company to bring that experience to brands, leagues, foundations, and firms — advising on how to connect investment to impact in sport.
