Acey has been with Astraea for 19 years and involved in feminist/progressive philanthropy for 25. Astraea’s mission involves funding lesbian-led, trans, LGBTI and progressive organizations. Through-out the years, Acey has been honored by the Women’s Funding Network for her leadership in building a multi-cultural women’s funding movement, as well as by The Funding Exchange, Cross Cultural Black Women’s Studies Institute and the NYC National Organization for Women.
