Sara Pietka
Vice President of Community Investments
Sara’s last day at Ecotrust was April 5, 2024.
I develop Ecotrust Community Development Entity (CDE)’s New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) strategy and oversee all CDE operations including deal sourcing, allocation deployment, and portfolio management, in addition to leading the annual NMTC application process. With over a decade of experience in analyzing, underwriting, and structuring complex transactions in the real estate and community development sectors, I’ve cultivated a passion of expanding economic opportunity with inclusion as a core principle—shifting capital to shift power. I am a third-generation Oregonian currently re-discovering the Pacific Northwest through my children’s eyes.
