One of the original leaders at NEF, Karen Przypyszny, has made the decision to move on from NEF to begin the next chapter of her personal and professional life after 24 years.
Karen’s dedication to affordable housing brought her to NEF in 2000 and since then she has been highly influential and impactful. She served as the SVP of acquisitions for 9 years before transitioning to investor relations, growing NEF’s proprietary fund work and building partnerships with investors that are still active today. For the past six years, Karen provided thought leadership in her role as managing director of special initiatives, overseeing the optimization plan, and spearheading new programs including Opportunity Zone Funds, Workforce Housing, and NEF grant initiatives in addition to her work in driving NEF’s ESG agenda. Karen’s broad experience coupled with her vast knowledge have been invaluable to achieving NEF’s successes and innovations throughout the years.
We thank Karen for her loyalty, leadership, unwavering commitment to every part of NEF, to our partners, and to affordable housing. She will be greatly missed, but it’s safe to say that NEF would not be the industry leader that it is today without her, so her legacy most certainly lives on. We wish her all the best!
