Neda manages program infrastructure, events, and projects for dynamic NFG programs that facilitate connections and organizing amongst funders and movement leaders. Their work at NFG includes support Funders for a Just Economy and the Democratizing Development Program, as well as leading general member political education.

Neda’s experience has honed their skills in strategic community engagement, concise program management, dynamic facilitation, and thoughtful curriculum development to build momentum in the movement toward liberation.
