Sasha Ponappa

Sasha Ponappa (she/her) is a passionate advocate and an endlessly curious learner. She led an agency serving deaf survivors of domestic violence and sexual violence, supported multiple nonprofit networks, and managed various federally funded and state-funded programs. As the executive director of DOF, she works with the board of directors, builds donor relationships, and acts as an organization liaison, directly supporting countless deaf-centric nonprofits across the country! This will be Sasha’s sixth time overseeing DOF’s grant opportunity.
