Farra Trompeter (she/her) is Co-Director and Worker-Owner at Big Duck, a worker-owned cooperative that builds strong brands, campaigns, and teams for nonprofit organizations, foundations, and government agencies.

As Big Duck’s Co-Director, Trompeter ensures that Big Duck is a healthy, thriving company—that we’re creating a great work environment, are financially stable, producing work that successfully meets or exceeds client’s needs, and that diversity, inclusion, equity, and antiracism are centered in all we do. She directs Big Duck’s marketing and business development efforts, seeking to build relationships with nonprofits who want to use communications to achieve their mission. Trompeter has led dozens of organizations through major brand overhauls, fundraising campaigns, and much more since joining Big Duck in 2007. She’s a frequent speaker around the country, training nonprofit staff and board members on branding, communications planning, and engaging donors at all giving levels.

Trompeter previously served as a board member for NTEN, an organization working to create a world where nonprofits fulfill their missions through the skillful and racially equitable use of technology, and for the NYC Anti-Violence Project, an organization that mobilizes lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and HIV-affected communities and allies to end all forms of violence through organizing and education, and supports survivors through counseling and advocacy. She received her B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Interdisciplinary Studies in Health Education from American University and holds a Master of Science in Nonprofit Management from The New School.

Trompeter is also an Adjunct Associate Professor of Public Service at the NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service and an Adjunct Lecturer at Baruch College's Marxe School Of Public And International Affairs.
