Adrianna Smith Reig is a Partner for Research, Health, and the Arts, and a founding Board Member of the Crimsonbridge Foundation. She brings comprehensive experience from the nonprofit, philanthropic, and arts sectors.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, she launched Emergent Seed, which supported more than 60 performing artists in the DC area through grants and mentorship, including one who went on to win NPR's National Tiny Desk Contest.
As a Crimsonbridge Board Member since the Foundation's launch in 2015, Adrianna helps guide the Foundation’s mission and long-term goals, bringing the voices, hopes, and needs of the rising generations to the forefront. As a Partner for Research, Health, and the Arts, she leverages her extensive experience in nonprofit work and philanthropy, combined with years of research and leadership, with a current focus on maternal-infant health.
