Boston, MA — January 27, 2026
The Goodness Web (TGW), a collaborative philanthropic fund dedicated to transforming youth mental health in America, announced today that Amy Blais Malloy has been appointed Chief Advancement Officer. In this newly created executive role, Blais Malloy will lead the organization’s advancement strategy, expanding philanthropic and strategic partnerships, strengthening long-term sustainability, and positioning TGW for its next stage of growth and impact.
Blais Malloy is a seasoned social impact leader with more than two decades of experience across strategy, development, finance, and external affairs in fast-paced, mission-driven organizations focused on systems change and coalition building. Her work has consistently operated at the intersection of education, economic mobility, public health, and community wellbeing, grounded in a deep commitment to creating the conditions for children and young people to thrive.
“Amy is a rare leader who combines strategic rigor, deep relational trust, and an unwavering commitment to youth,” said Dr. Celine Coggins, CEO of The Goodness Web Foundation. “At this pivotal moment in our growth, we need a leader who can help us move from early momentum to sustained, exponential impact. Amy’s track record of building catalytic partnerships, scaling organizations, cultivating transformational relationships, and mobilizing resources will be instrumental as we work to meet the urgency of this moment for young people.”
Over the past 15+ years, Blais Malloy has served as a senior fundraising leader and strategist for Teach For America (TFA), a national network of more than 75,000 teachers, tutors, and alumni working alongside schools and communities to improve student outcomes and expand access to an excellent education for all. As a founding member of Teach For America Massachusetts’ leadership team, she and the executive team launched a $40 million multi-year growth strategy that drove sustained expansion, scaling the organization from Greater Boston to a statewide presence. From there, she went on to lead TFA’s national fundraising portfolio, spearheading initiatives and campaigns that raised more than $80 million annually in partnership with the CEO and National Board. Most recently, she has served as the organization’s Interim Chief Revenue and Development Officer, overseeing enterprise-wide fundraising and revenue efforts that have secured $250+ million each year.
“Youth mental health is one of the defining challenges of our time, and we knew that traditional philanthropic approaches alone weren’t enough,” says Mark Verdi, Co-Founder and Board Chair of The Goodness Web. “By curating the most promising solutions, catalyzing collaboration across sectors, and bringing people into the work with both heart and strategy, TGW is built to drive change at scale. Now, we are thrilled to welcome Amy Blais Malloy, whose experience, leadership, and vision will accelerate that mission and deepen our impact for young people.”
Earlier in her career, Blais Malloy served as Regional Director of the local chapter of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council, where her work centered on building ecosystems of support for women and diverse entrepreneurs. She forged strategic partnerships among Fortune 500 companies, small business owners, and city and state entities, creating pathways for access, shared learning, and capacity building. Under her leadership, the program quadrupled in scale in under five years, strengthened training programs that fueled rapid contract growth, and earned both local and national recognition for innovation and impact.
Additionally, Blais Malloy has consulted with organizations advancing public sector leadership, early childhood education, literacy, pro-social use of AI tools for youth, and access to youth sports. She serves on the National Board of Jumpstart for Young Children and the Board of Rhode Island Youth Theatre, is an active public health advocate, and remains deeply engaged in local education and civic life.
Blais Malloy earned her B.A. in Psychology from Boston College, completed fellowships with StartingBloc for Social Change and LEADBoston, and is pursuing a credential in Nonprofit Leadership & Management at the Harvard Kennedy School.
“As a parent and someone who has dedicated my career to positive social impact, I believe deeply in The Goodness Web’s mission,” said Blais Malloy. “This role is about bringing people together — philanthropic partners, innovators, practitioners, communities, and families — in a moment of crisis around a shared sense of purpose to unlock transformational change in how we support young people. This work is needed more than ever, and I am honored to join this extraordinary team at this pivotal moment. I’m grateful for the opportunity to help accelerate solutions that ensure every young person has the conditions, access, resources, and opportunities they need to thrive.”
Blais Malloy lives in Rhode Island with her husband and two young children.
