Phil Perry, Board Treasurer
As a transformational finance executive with over two decades of relationship banking, government and nonprofit experience, I bring a strategic, community-focused approach to nonprofit and municipal finance. My career has been defined by driving multimillion-dollar growth, forging impactful partnerships, and leading diversity initiatives across major financial institutions. I specialize in treasury management, complex credit structures, and tax-exempt financing, and have consistently delivered innovative solutions that uplift communities and empower mission-driven organizations. Currently serving on the Finance and New Building Committees of the Butterfly Pavilion Board, I am deeply committed to its mission of invertebrate conservation and education. My experience in public speaking, consensus building, and strategic development—combined with a strong track record of supporting nonprofit initiatives —positions me to continue contributing meaningfully to the Pavilion’s growth and long-term vision. I have intentionally moved my career in the direction of social impact over time. I credit this focus to where I grew up – Sanborn Western Camps – which my family and I transitioned into one of the largest nonprofit summer camps in the country. Both from growing up in rural Colorado, and from my agriculture studies at CSU, I intuitively understand the importance of Butterfly Pavilion and the huge opportunity that the Pavilion presents. There are so few organizations specifically dedicated to this layer of conservation and education. I would be honored to use my deep knowledge of nonprofits, the Denver nonprofit ecosystem, and experiential nonprofit education to support the mission of the Butterfly Pavilion. Phil brings expertise in corporate relationships, finance, and banking.
