Doug Spring currently serves as Vice President, Nonprofits, at Kasirer. His passion lies in helping nonprofits shape impactful policy and secure funding through strategic outreach and data-driven advocacy to elected officials at all levels of government.

Doug joined Kasirer in 2018 as a Government Relations Intern and steadily advanced through roles including Associate, Senior Associate, Manager of Outreach & Advocacy, Director, and Associate Vice President of Nonprofits—all before reaching his current leadership position.

At Kasirer, Doug has focused on transformative advocacy campaigns that benefited some of the City’s largest non-profit projects. Highlights include the completed construction of The Brotherhood Sister Sol’s new home on West 143rd Street, the ongoing development of The New York Historical’s expansion project on the Upper West Side, which will house the first home of The American LGBTQ+ Museum, and advancing plans for the innovative redesign of Lincoln Center’s campus to open its western end. For social service groups, Doug has successfully advocated for multi-million dollar expense allocations for the Metropolitan New York Coordinating Council on Jewish Poverty and Citymeals on Wheels, all supporting programs for New York’s most vulnerable aging population.

For five years, Doug managed Kasirer’s Internship program, giving interns meaningful responsibilities—from attending legislative hearings to drafting policy memos, all while building their first connections in New York City government. He was instrumental in helping more than 100 young professionals grow in their careers over those five years.

Doug has been recognized for his work as one of City & State New York’s 2025 Pride Trailblazers and 2023’s Responsible 100, showcasing a selection of New Yorkers serving the common good.

Doug earned both a B.A. in Political Science and International Political Economy and an M.A. in Elections & Policy Management from Fordham University. He is a born and raised Long Islander and enjoys spending time with his dog, Kara.
