By on February 22, 2024
Join us Tuesday to hear from Steve Gerber the Chief Development Officer of CICOA. Started in 1974, CICOA is an organization that helps seniors and people of any age with a disability remain comfortably and safely at home and out of institutional care.

Steve will provide an overview of CICOA’s role in the Central Indiana Community, and how the CICOA Foundation is working to raise funds in support of this critical social services mission.

Steve Gerber has lived a lot of lives, professionally speaking. He brings experience in pastoral ministry, nonprofit management and fundraising team leadership. Steve is responsible for the agency’s overall fundraising strategy, leading annual campaigns, major gifts, planned giving, grants and special events. 

Before coming to CICOA in 2022, Steve served as executive director of development at Grace College & Seminary in Winona Lake, Indiana. There, he worked with a donor on a $1.5 million gift that established the first endowed chair in the college’s school of science and secured two separate $1 million grants for the seminary.

Steve recently earned the Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy® designation from the American College of Financial Services. The CAP® is a distinguished mark of excellence recognizing Steve’s expertise in philanthropic and legacy planning, tax strategies and financial planning related to charitable giving. He also holds the Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) designation and the executive certificate in religious fundraising. Steve has a bachelor’s degree from Tennessee Temple University, a master’s degree from Grace Theological Seminary and a master’s in business administration from the University of Phoenix.
