RAF Welcomes Maisah Khan

RAF is thrilled to announce new team member Maisah Khan! As the SHOT Fund Partnerships Manager, Maisah is looking forward to helping rural nonprofits and historically underserved farmers identify, pursue, and manage public funding opportunities that align with their mission and work.

Maisah comes to RAF with over a decade of experience in grassroots nonprofit work and federal policy advocacy. She was the Policy Director for the Mississippi River Network and before that the Water Policy Director for the Missouri Coalition for the Environment. Prior to that, she served as an appointee in the Obama Administration for the U.S. Department of Energy, focusing on international climate change policy and clean energy deployment. Maisah holds a Masters of Environmental Management from the Yale School of Environment. Her family ties to Bangladesh keep her grounded in our shared movement for climate change solutions.

The Soil Health Opportunities and Tools (SHOT) Fund is an initiative between Rural Climate Partnership and RAF designed to connect farmers and the nonprofits that serve them with existing public funding opportunities such as the $18 billion available under the Inflation Reduction Act. The Fund focuses on enhancing capacity support, providing innovative financing, offering technical assistance, and promoting market reform to support regenerative and climate-smart agriculture all while ensuring equitable access to public funding.
