Deputy Director

In her capacity as Deputy Director of 10×10, a first-of-its-kind global campaign to educate girls, Tara Abrahams manages 10×10’s partnerships with leading NGOs, corporations, and policy organizations, connecting best-practice, girl-focused programs around the world to the 10×10 campaign and its strategy to achieve global impact.The campaign combines the power of a groundbreaking feature film with the reach of a global, digitally-integrated social action initiative. Both elements drive home a simple message: a global commitment to educating girls in the developing world will bring about transformational change, economic growth and development.

Tara began her career in the nonprofit sector, as the founding New York director of Health Leads (formerly Project HEALTH,) an organization that mobilizes undergraduate volunteers to partner with hospitals and implement programs that will improve the health of low-income children and families. Tara has served as a managing director at Acelero Learning, a company that works in partnership with Head Start programs around the country to improve early childhood education for low-income children and their families, and as a consultant at The Bridgespan Group, a firm that works with nonprofit and philanthropic leaders to develop strategies and build organizations that inspire and accelerate social change. Prior to her role with 10×10 and DocGroup, Tara was the founding director at the Maverick Capital Foundation, a philanthropic organization focused on education and youth development in New York City.

Tara graduated from Harvard College with an A.B. in History and Literature and completed her MBA at the Harvard Business School, where she was awarded the Horace W. Goldsmith Fellowship for outstanding contributions to the nonprofit sector. Tara serves on the boards of Health Leads, Green City Force, and the Harvard Alumni Association.
