Approach
Craig Newmark focuses on trustworthy information, veterans, and community resilience. FOH’s education mission for military and first responder families resonates with his patriotism and support for those who serve. Outreach should be personal—a compelling letter or deck highlighting impact and unmet demand.
- Use mutual connections (e.g., BWF, PenFed, TMF) to facilitate introductions.
- Offer specific funding opportunities: technology upgrades for scholarship platform, cohort scholarships, or first responder expansion.
- Be ready to demonstrate transparency and measurable impact—Newmark values accountable, data-informed partners.
Next Steps
- Draft a concise outreach letter and impact brief before Q2 2026.
- Identify storytellers (e.g., scholarship alumni working in civic tech or public safety) to personalize the ask.
- Offer ways he can stay engaged (virtual briefings, scholarship naming opportunities, updates on beneficiary outcomes).
