Tony Lee Senior Director of Development

Tony Lee’s passion for healthcare education and accessibility grew out of his own experience navigating physical and mental health through a more holistic lens. Recognizing how confusing and overwhelming medical information can be, he is deeply committed to helping others access clear, trustworthy resources that empower them to make informed decisions about their health.

Lee brings more than a decade of nonprofit experience across fundraising, operations, and marketing. He has worked with organizations such as American Repertory Ballet and The Washington Ballet, where he supported donor programs at all levels, including individual giving, institutional partnerships, and special events. Most recently, at the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), he focused on large-scale direct response fundraising, helping to expand awareness of mental health resources while gaining insight into the many ways individuals and communities can support their mental well-being.

At MedShadow, Lee leads fundraising initiatives that support and expand the organization’s mission to provide independent, evidence-based information about medications and health. He works to grow awareness of MedShadow’s articles, webinars, and educational resources while ensuring they remain free and accessible to as many people as possible.

Lee holds degrees in Computer Science and Film & Media Studies from Johns Hopkins University. He is also a professional dancer who has performed across the United States, bringing a creative, human-centered perspective to his work in storytelling, outreach, and community impact.
