Samira Prasad
Funding Team Lead
I have worked in the area of education and food security through NGOs based in India, as fundraising, marketing, and communications specialist. I have years of experience creating campaigns, developing corporate partnerships, using social media for donor and volunteer engagement, cause awareness, and developing marketing material. I also have an academic background in Economic Development. I am very excited to be a part of FUNetix’s Funding Team and look forward to making a difference.

Leah Connor
Funding Team Lead
I have 25+ years of experience in creative services and digital marketing for both small businesses and non-profit organizations. I spent 22 years as a graphic designer and digital media coordinator with a family-owned business specializing in pre-k and elementary school education materials. I also volunteered for 13+ years with the local running club, managing its online presence, social media, and email, designing logos and marketing materials, overseeing membership and race registration databases, administering training programs, and race directing long-distance events.
I look forward to combining my passions for early childhood education and exercise by creating a special FUNetix walk/run event to raise awareness and money for our mission to achieve universal literacy.
