Benjamin Weeda is the Acting Executive Director with mpowered where he manages directs fundraising and strategic direction efforts and manages the team in charge of programs and operations.
Weeda joined the Commission for Strategic Partnerships because no nonprofit can solve the issues that society faces alone – these problems require intentional collaboration, partnership, and coordination across sectors if anyone can expect to make progress. Nonprofits find themselves at the center of these issues and the Commission on Strategic Partnerships can be the perfect partner to bring together these nonprofits with the corresponding city agency tackling the same issue and serving the same populations. Benjamin wants to make sure these connections happen and that our communities are part of the conversations in formulating the strategies, programs, and solutions that they so critically need to thrive.
Outside of work Benjamin is a father, a husband, a son, an uncle, a cousin, and a friend. He loves to be with people and experience new things – especially with family. He has a passion for cooking, music, art, talking about race issues, and education but the thing he likes to do the most is laugh!
