Two of Redwood's leadership team have or have had relationships to an OP grant maker. A Redwood board member is married to a different OP grantmaker.

I'm surprised no one has commented about this yet; this seems incredibly problematic. Some things I'd like to know:

• Who exactly are the people involved?
• Did the timeline of these relationships line up with the timeline of the funding decisions?
• Were the OP grant makers in the right position for their relationships to affect OP's decision to fund Redwood?
