August 27, 2025

West Palm Beach, FL (August 25, 2025) – Friends of the Mounts Botanical Garden, the nonprofit organization that operates the 20-acre tropical oasis in the heart of the Palm Beaches, has appointed Andre Bogsan as its new Director of Development.

“We are thrilled to welcome Andre to the Mounts Botanical Garden team,” said Executive Director James May. “His expertise in donor engagement, grant strategies, and fundraising will be instrumental in advancing our mission and ensuring the Garden’s continued growth and sustainability.”

As Director of Development, Bogsan will lead initiatives to strengthen philanthropic support for the Garden, including helping to advance its Master Plan — a dynamic, long-term strategy to enhance the visitor experience, expand community impact, and solidify Mounts Botanical Garden’s role as a cultural and horticultural treasure for Palm Beach County and beyond.

“Our Master Plan vision is for a Mounts Botanical Garden that is bolder, more welcoming, and more sustainable—without ever losing the magic of what makes this place special. We envision Mounts to be the go-to destination to discover, enjoy and be moved by nature,” adds May.

Bogsan is a seasoned institutional advancement and fundraising executive with more than two decades of international experience driving growth and impact for global nonprofits and mission-driven organizations. He has held senior leadership positions at prominent organizations including Greenpeace International, The Nature Conservancy, and La Amistad, managing multi-million-dollar fundraising portfolios, cultivating major donor relationships, and leading strategic growth initiatives across Latin America, the U.S., and Europe.

His private sector experience includes nearly a decade with The Walt Disney Company Latin America and founding a successful social impact agency in Brazil, where he led high-impact campaigns for UNICEF, Save the Children, and Plan International. Fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, Bogsan brings a unique global perspective, strategic insight, and operational excellence to his work.

“I am honored to join Mounts Botanical Garden and help advance its mission to nurture meaningful connections with nature through immersive experiences and educational offerings,” said Bogsan. “I look forward to engaging with our supporters and our community to build a sustainable thriving future for this extraordinary place.”
