In her role as VP & Chief Philanthropy Officer of Cone Health, Michelle Schneider puts her decades of fundraising leadership to work for a mission that matters greatly to her: helping to tangibly improve the lives and well-being of our community members.

A long-time leader in fundraising, Schneider has dedicated her work to taking critical community fixtures — UNC-Greensboro, Habitat for Humanity and United Way — to a new level. As a consultant, she helped transform the philanthropic work of organizations like the YMCA, Greensboro Science Center, Meredith College, Holy Trinity Church and others.
She joined Cone Health in 2017 and often takes time to round on patients and to engage in systemwide initiatives; this helps her to see, comprehensively and first-hand, the needs of the organization along with the impact of giving.
Schneider earned a bachelor’s degree in social work and a master’s degree in public administration from UNC-Greensboro. She earned the Charter Advisory in Philanthropy (CAP®) in 2020. She is a member of Women to Women, the Greensboro Society of Financial Services Professionals, and a member of the Corporation of Guardianship Board of Directors.
