Amanda Riley | Accounting Manager

Pronouns: She / Her / Hers

Amanda is an accountant with more than 12 years of experience in for-profits, nonprofits, and different modes of philanthropy, from intermediaries to a private foundation. Centering social justice has helped her make meaningful contributions, like creating financial processes to support capacity and relationship building and co-designing a contracting process to compensate community members for their expertise. She joined Seeding Justice in the spirit of choosing reciprocity over accumulation and she is hopeful for futures shaped by and for communities.

She holds a B.A. in linguistics and literature from University of California, Santa Cruz and is currently studying for her post-baccalaureate certificate in accounting at Portland State University’s School of Business. She enjoys a good book, gardening, and walking around her neighborhood looking for friendly cats and flowers that smell good.

Amanda started at Seeding Justice in March 2024.
