Dr. Angie Holzer

​

 

Dr. Angie Holzer, CEO and founder of WikiCharities, is redefining the nonprofit sector by making information more accessible, transparent, and research-driven. With a doctorate in organizational leadership and learning from Aspen University—where she earned the Dissertation of the Year Award for her research on human trafficking—Angie is dedicated to driving meaningful change.

​

WikiCharities is the world’s largest open-access global database of nonprofits, allowing users to search for charities by name, topic, or location. By improving visibility and trust, the platform helps communities—especially those affected by human trafficking—connect with life-changing resources. It also equips nonprofits, funders, and policymakers with reliable data to make informed, data-driven decisions that strengthen the entire nonprofit ecosystem.

​

Beyond a directory, Angie launched the Journal of Nonprofit Innovation to bridge the gap between research and real-world nonprofit efforts. This open-access journal provides a space for scholars and practitioners to share insights, best practices, and solutions. “There’s no paywall,” Angie emphasizes, ensuring nonprofits everywhere can access knowledge that strengthens their impact.

​

Her work is hands-on and deeply personal. From supporting women farmers in Tanzania with research-backed solutions for food insecurity to collaborating directly with nonprofits to understand their challenges, Angie is committed to fostering collaboration at every level.

​

Through WikiCharities and its journal, Angie Holzer is more than an innovator—she is building a global ecosystem of trust, connection, and impact in the nonprofit world.
