GreenLight Fund Kansas City Appoints Shamika Hogan as Executive Director, Launches $4M+ Fund II
GreenLight Fund, a national nonprofit organization, has announced the appointment of Shamika Hogan as the new Executive Director for its Kansas City chapter. This leadership change coincides with the launch of GreenLight Kansas City's second fund, Fund II, which has already secured over $4 million in funding. The new fund is supported by a coalition of local families, corporations, foundations, and philanthropic investors. Hogan's role will involve collaborating with the community to identify specific unmet needs and then selecting and investing in evidence-based social innovations to address these issues in Kansas City. The organization aims to bring three new programs to the city through Fund II, building on its previous success in scaling five nonprofit solutions that have impacted 46,445 children and families in the past year. Hogan brings a decade of experience in financial services, housing, and workforce development, with a proven track record of establishing and growing effective programs.
