In January 2014, Meredith joined forces with NY Rangers Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist and his wife Therese as Founding Executive Director of the Henrik Lundqvist Foundation (HLF). In this role, Meredith developed the foundation's charitable platform, vetted and formed partnerships with non-profit organizations whose work fulfilled HLF's mission, planned domestic and international community outreach events and organized large scale fundraising events, raising and giving away hundreds of thousands of dollars in just two years. Meredith also secured corporate sponsorships, coordinated with the NY Rangers, the NHL and other key stakeholders in the sports community. 

Under Meredith’s leadership, Lundqvist was recognized by the Rangers as the team’s NHL Foundation Award nominee two years in a row, as a finalist for the NHL Foundation Award at the league level and as a finalist for the 1st ever ESPN Humanitarian of the Year Award. Meredith also founded HLF’s first foundation-run program, the HLF Young Ambassadors Program, a youth civic engagement platform which encourages adolescents to give back in their own communities. 

Today Meredith serves as HLF’s Senior Program Director, operating and expanding the Young Ambassadors Program.
