Claudia Witte
Senior Program Officer
RDV Corporation

Claudia Witte came to the United States because of a love story and in 15 years, she fell in love with West Michigan too. Having recently become a proud U.S. citizen, she reflects on everything this community has given her and what she gives back to it every single day.

As Senior Program Officer at RDV Corporation, Claudia operates at one of West Michigan’s most significant private family foundations, connecting diverse, multicultural donors and partners across the region and translating complex community needs into strategic, multicultural solutions that create measurable local impact.

What sets her apart is her rare ability to bridge traditional philanthropy with multicultural networks, bringing together worlds that don’t always speak the same language, literally or figuratively. She champions values that are both American and Latino, hard work, strengthened civil society, personal agency, and investment in “hand-up” initiatives that help individuals and communities achieve independence.

In a space where Latina voices are rarely found, Claudia shows up with authenticity, cultural intelligence, and strategic candor, building long-term relationships rooted in genuine trust. Her influence is built on a track record of excellence in philanthropic strategy, a deeply personal story, and an ever-growing network that spans industries and communities across West Michigan and beyond.

For Claudia, West Michigan is not just where she lives, it is one of the world’s hidden gems, and she shares it proudly with the world.

“She came for love | stayed to change lives.”

Lo que la distingue es su rara habilidad para conectar la filantropía tradicional con redes multiculturales, uniendo mundos que no siempre hablan el mismo idioma, literal o figurativamente. Promueve valores que son tanto americanos como latinos, trabajo duro, sociedad civil fortalecida, agencia personal e inversión en iniciativas de “mano amiga” que ayudan a individuos y comunidades a lograr la independencia.

En un espacio donde las voces latinas rara vez se encuentran, Claudia se presenta con autenticidad, inteligencia cultural y franqueza estratégica, construyendo relaciones a largo plazo arraigadas en la confianza genuina. Su influencia se basa en un historial de excelencia en estrategia filantrópica, una historia personal profundamente personal y una red en constante crecimiento que abarca industrias y comunidades en West Michigan y más allá.

Para Claudia, West Michigan no es solo donde vive, es una de las joyas escondidas del mundo, y la comparte con orgullo con el mundo entero.

“Vino por amor |  se quedó para cambiar vidas.”
