Sunny Daily
Executive Director
About Sunny
Sunny Daily has been a passionate advocate and community builder on Nantucket since moving to the island from Kansas in 2003 with her husband and two young children. For more than two decades, she has dedicated her work to helping families thrive, strengthening local systems of care, and fostering the connections that make Nantucket a resilient community.
Homeschooling her children for a number of years, Sunny volunteered as a La Leche League leader, became an internationally certified childbirth educator, certified birth doula, midwife, and call EMT(B)—always centering families and connection in her work.
Before joining the Community Foundation for Nantucket in 2022, Sunny served as Site Director for Health Imperatives’ Island clinic, where she expanded access to reproductive health, nutrition services, and the young parents program, grew community outreach, and built the organization’s capacity to secure competitive grants.
As Executive Director of the Community Foundation since 2023, Sunny brings a collaborative spirit and systems-level thinking to her leadership. She works across sectors to listen deeply, build relationships, and spark innovative solutions to some of the island’s most pressing challenges. Her focus is bringing nonprofit leaders, donors, and community members together to share resources, align efforts, and strengthen Nantucket for all who call it home.
Deeply grateful for all the island has provided her and her family, Sunny is committed to giving back so that others can experience the same sense of belonging and support. She enjoys walking the island’s conservation land with her husband Greg and their NiSHA dog, Stella, and celebrating the journeys of their grown children.
