Christina Orsi appears on"Buffalo Brief"

Many thanks to Kelsey Anderson, host of WIVB/WNLO-TV (Nexstar Media Group)'s Buffalo Brief podcast, for having our president, Christina Orsi, on the show this week!

During their conversation, Christina shared about the Foundation’s history, how our strategic direction is taking shape, and what’s ahead as we deepen our work on community power-building and equity—especially on Buffalo’s East Side.

She also highlighted the WNY Forward Fund, a collaborative effort by 13 funders (including Oishei!) to help strengthen the region’s nonprofit sector.
