The 2024 Brooklyn Org Changemakers Ball will honor Brooklyn Org Board Member Harsha Marti, Managing Director, General Counsel, and a member of the Executive Management Group at Warburg Pincus. Harsha joined Brooklyn Org’s Board of Directors in January 2015 and served as Board Co-Chair from 2020 to 2024. As a long-time champion for racial justice and community-centered change, Harsha has had a critical impact through his leadership at Brooklyn Org during times of great uncertainty and unparalleled growth. In early 2020, he helped launch the Brooklyn COVID-19 Response Fund, which raised and distributed nearly $3 million in just 16 weeks to the hardest-hit communities across Brooklyn. In 2023, Harsha co-led the development of Brooklyn Org’s groundbreaking strategic plan, which ignited our evolution from Brooklyn Community Foundation to Brooklyn Org, a new model aimed at democratizing local philanthropy. Harsha is also a member of the Executive Committee of the Law Board of the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law and was a board member of South Asian Youth Action (SAYA!) from 2005 to 2011. He received an SB in Materials Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a JD/MBA from the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law and the Kellogg School of Management. Born and raised in New York City, Harsha lives in Fort Greene with his wife Meera, and their four children. ❤️ About The Event ❤️ The Brooklyn Org Changemakers Ball is a can’t miss event to mix, mingle, and SHOW BROOKLYN SOME LOVE! Last year, nearly 450 guests raised over $1 million for our borough, and this year promises to be even bigger and bolder at our new venue Powerhouse Arts, Inc. on October 23, 2024. 🎟️ Support our efforts to raise greatly needed funds for community-led nonprofits by purchasing a ticket, a sponsorship, or making a donation: https://lnkd.in/evFtFHZd ❤️ Brooklyn Org is thankful for the partnership and support of Presenting Sponsor Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP ❤️ • • • • • #BrooklynOrg #SpreadLoveBrooklyn #brooklyn #brooklynbridge #brooklynny #brooklynnyc #spreadloveitsthebrooklynway #brooklynlove #newyork #nyc #ilovebrooklyn #welovebrooklyn #brooklyngohard #CommunityLed WARBURG PINCUS INTERNATIONAL LLC Jocelynne Rainey, Ed.D.
