Drew Maidment is a Major Gifts Officer for Covenant House California, specializing in donor communication, strategic fundraising, and community engagement. Hailing from Boston, MA, Drew is a man of many passions, with a master’s degree in creative writing and a bachelor’s degree in theatre and communications. Drew began his fundraising career in the performing arts before transitioning to higher education and youth programs. Now, he’s proud to advocate for an organization with a mission he truly believes in and to be a part of a dedicated team that’s committed to ending America’s youth homelessness crisis. When he’s not talking about Covenant House, you can find Drew performing in regional theatre around L.A, cheering on his beloved Red Sox, practicing guitar, or spending time with his wife, Ashley, to whom he just got married to last July. Please feel free to reach out any time to learn more about Covenant House (even if you’re a Yankees fan).

Covenant House California is a full-service shelter and non-profit that provides wrap-around care to young people experiencing homelessness. We have 5 shelters throughout the state, where we provide workforce training, education, food, access to physical and mental health treatment, warm clothes, a bed, and a place to be loved for who you are. Our motto is “we meet you where you’re at.” Inspired by faith, we’ve been helping young people since 1988, driven by the belief that no young person should be without a home. 50% of the adult homeless population first experienced homelessness before the age of 25. We believe we can break that cycle through community outreach and extensive care.
