Johanna Markgraf

Meet Johanna

Development and Operations Specialist

Johanna is proud to be part of a team whose mission is to improve the lives of people and their communities in rural Minnesota. In her role, Johanna fuels that mission by supporting resource development and regional fundraising initiatives. This includes managing donor data, ensuring a seamless giving experience and collaborating with teams for administrative excellence.

Southwest Minnesota’s small-town communities and the relationships that are built through generations are part of what Johanna loves about our region, and how welcoming these communities can be to new people moving into them.

In Johanna’s eyes, there’s always something new to learn, understand, explore, people to meet and help, and she loves being a continuous learner. She has 15 years of experience in finance, working with all levels of people from those first opening a checking account to investing their 40+ years of retirement savings. Johanna previously held her series 7 and 66 securities licenses and is a notary public.

Johanna makes her home in Buffalo Lake. As a mom of three girls and a bonus mom to two boys, she is on-the-go with sports, school activities and church activities. In her free time, Johanna enjoys reading almost anything she can get her hands on!
