Steve Zuckerman is a seasoned leader in the nonprofit sector, bringing over 35 years of experience in both for-profit and nonprofit environments. As Co-Founder and Co-Chair of Stroke Onward, he is dedicated to addressing the critical needs of stroke survivors and their families, a mission that stems from his personal journey alongside his wife, Debra Meyerson, following her stroke in 2010. Their shared vision led to the establishment of Stroke Onward, which aims to fill the significant gaps in the healthcare system that they encountered during their experience.
Under Steve's leadership, Stroke Onward has launched several key initiatives designed to empower stroke survivors through education, community support, and advocacy. The organization focuses on leveraging market forces and strategic philanthropy to create sustainable programs that not only enhance the quality of life for survivors but also foster a deeper understanding of stroke recovery among healthcare professionals and the general public. Steve’s expertise in financial services, fundraising, and economic development plays a vital role in the organization’s ability to secure funding and build partnerships that amplify its impact.
Steve’s commitment to cross-sector collaboration is evident in his approach to program development, where he integrates insights from various industries to create innovative solutions for stroke recovery. By combining his skills in financial analysis and modeling with a passion for social change, he is not only advancing the mission of Stroke Onward but also inspiring others to recognize the transformative power of strategic philanthropy in the nonprofit landscape. Through his work, Steve continues to advocate for a world where stroke survivors are given the tools and support they need to reclaim their identities and thrive.
