Neda Said

Neda holds efforts to convene philanthropy for political education and gatherings that facilitate connection and organizing amongst funders and movement leaders to learn, strategize, and mobilize together in support of community organizing.

Neda’s experience has honed their skills in thoughtful program design, dynamic facilitation, and concise coordination to build momentum in the movement toward liberation. Having joined NFG in September 2018, their previous work includes social justice education and domestic violence training for youth, volunteers, and advocates, organizing and curriculum creation with queer and trans youth of color, and youth leadership development.

Neda is also an organizer with Survived & Punished and is on the board of 18 Million Rising. They completed their studies in Political Science and International Studies at the University of California at San Diego. When Neda isn’t immersed in planning the details of something, they are probably appreciating Afghan textiles, reading a book, or out enjoying the sunshine.
