Did you know that 30.4 million students in America can't afford their school meals? The average annual cost per child is $180.60, and 68.8% of surveyed schools have unpaid meal debt. Even more concerning, 96% of school districts report an increase in the number of students who can't afford their meals year after year. In Texas alone, there are 1,658,680 food-insecure children. This isn’t just a statistic; it’s a reality that many families face.

It was an honor to serve RaiseUp Families as their Executive Director for nearly 4 years. In that time, the organization experienced unprecedented growth: ✅ Expanded Board of Directors by 50% ✅ Doubled the number of families (clients) being served ✅ Client outcomes improved by 100% (average income increase in signature 9-month HandUp program went from 35% - 71%) ✅ Client graduation rate improved from 80% to 91% ✅ Revenue growth from $450,000 to $1,000,015 (donations from private sources) These outcomes are a result of the Board of Directors and staff working together towards a common goal, each person utilizing their unique skills and abilities in their individual role to help the bus arrive at its desired destination. They are the result of hours and hours of innovation, hard work, and determination. As RaiseUp Families celebrates its 30th Anniversary of stabilizing families from vulnerable communities who face unexpected financial crises so their children can focus on their education, giving them the opportunity for a better life, it needs a full-time leader with passion, vision, and experience to lead it forward. I could not be happier that Kate Yadan will pick up this torch and lead RaiseUp into the future! "We know that change is a natural part of life, and those who embrace it grow while those who do not slowly die, metaphorically. Two of the largest obstacles to change are ego and pride. Moving out of our own way is the toughest battle most of us will face. Giving up our seat for someone else, stepping down when it's time for someone else to step up, and gracefully exiting when we have added all the value we can, are what we should all strive for." -Angela Burgess, Are You on the Right Bus?

“Philanthropy is commendable but it shouldn’t stop the philanthropists from addressing what makes philanthropy possible: social injustices” MLK My goal isn’t to become a politician philanthropist, instead to empower people with their resources so they can build a better future for themselves, families and communities, AND pay it forward. The reason I have allocated 20% of ZIPPYAR equity to employees, committed 90% on NOI from international operations to be reinvested in thise domestic markets to spur job creation and equitable global economic growth. It is also the reason I am creating The Better Humanity Fund to empower with resources those left behind in this economy, majority women and minorities. A world with fair Justice, Peace and Equal Opportunities is sustainable. This is why I am in business. #socialentrepreneur #womenentrepreneur

The name Children's Legacy Partnership is always a mouthful!  Back when I started the foundation finding a name that conveyed our vision was challenging. I wanted it to be short but it was hard to find a name that wasn't taken. After a lot of brainstorming the name grew out of what we hoped to accomplish.

Delighted to get this gorgeous copy of Nonprofit Quarterly signed by the featured author Sará King, M.A., Ph.D. : Activating Loving Awareness. "I talk about love and loving-awareness not as phenomena of which I purport to be an expert but rather as “North Stars,” to exemplify a way of being toward ourselves and one another that I think encapsulates what it might mean to live in a state of individual and collective wellbeing." https://lnkd.in/guM2dYp2

Writing a will and engaging in legacy planning are essential actions to ensure your wishes are honoured and your impact endures after your passing. A will clarifies how your assets should be distributed, safeguarding against legal complications and potential disputes among family members. It's not just about assets; it's also about making decisions that reflect your values and desires. Legacy planning goes further, focusing on the broader impact you wish to leave. Whether through philanthropy, supporting causes close to your heart, or ensuring the continuation of family traditions, legacy planning allows you to shape how you'll be remembered. A will and a legacy plan provide peace of mind for you and your loved ones. They ensure that your legacy is preserved according to your wishes, making a positive and lasting impact. #WillWriting #LegacyPlanning #EstatePlanning #SecureFuture #FamilyLegacy #AssetProtection #Philanthropy #LastingImpact #PeaceOfMind #InheritancePlanning
