Episode 2 - Meet Our Grantmakers

In this episode, our program associate Leyana Dessauer interviews two members of our Community Funding Committee (CFC) who talk about their experiences as organizers and grantmakers over the first 18 months of the pandemic. 

These two grantmakers, Leah Obias and Rob Robinson, bring decades of organizing experience, and they also bring valuable insights from their national and international experience. They’re a great example of how the type of hyperlocal organizing we focus on doesn’t actually mean small. When you connect hyperlocal work across issue areas, borders and geography, its impact is big. Give a listen to how these two fascinating New Yorkers are meeting the moment.
