Welcome to CAF America

Emily A. Vogels, PhD

Manager, Research and Insights

I am the Manager of Research and Insights at CAF America, joining the team in July 2024. I lead research projects advancing thought leadership in the philanthropy sector, provide data-backed insights to address stakeholder concerns, consult on data and research-based projects, and scope out areas for future research.

I have over a decade of experience leading, conducting, and disseminating research projects. Before working at CAF America, I was a research associate at Pew Research Center and taught statistics at University of New Brunswick.

I received my PhD in experimental psychology from University of New Brunswick. I also have a master’s degree in cognitive and affective sciences from University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and bachelor’s degrees in psychology and human development from University of Wisconsin – Green Bay.

In my free time, I enjoy arts and crafts, playing and collecting board games, and fiddling with recipes, especially desserts.
