Josh Kay’s Bio

Josh Kay - Grant Program Associate

Josh joined the Impact Fund after receiving his degrees in Rhetoric and Society & the Environment from UC Berkeley in 2023.  While studying, he worked for The Green Initiative Fund, a student fee fund dedicated to improving the sustainability of the campus community.  He wrote an honors thesis focusing on legal- and extralegal dispossessions of indigenous communities of California during the transition from Mexican to American colonization, and spent many hours in the Bancroft Archives doing so.  Josh is particularly interested in the application of law to sustainable natural resource use, and the intersection of civil rights and environmental responsibilities.
